I've been looking at a few stats in the Texans vs. Colts series. The one I find most curious is "1st downs from penalty". The Texans don't really have a rep as a penalized team, in fact, they are usually in the upper half of the least penalized teams in recent years.
In the NFL, each game, teams normally get 0, 1 or 2 of these per game. 0, 1 and 2 are all common numbers for 1st downs from penalty/game. In the Texans vs. Colts series (Texan win/loss in parentheses): -------------- 2009 Game 1 @ Indy (L): Texans 1, Colts 6 Game 2 @ Houston (L): Texans 0, Colts 4 Totals for 2009: Texans 1, Colts 10 -------------- 2010 Game 1 @ Houston (W): Texans 1, Colts 2 Game 2 @ Indy (L): Texans 2, Colts 1 Totals for 2010: Texans 3, Colts 3 (a "normal" year) --------------- 2011 Game 1 @ Houston (W): Texans 1, Colts 1 Game 2 @ Indy (L): Texans 1, Colts 6 Totals for 2011: Texans 2, Colts 7 --------------- Grand totals last 3 years, first downs from penalty: Texans 6, Colts 20 This genuinely qualifies as lopsided. Just thought I'd point this out since I wasted probably an hour of my time looking this stuff up. Further fuel to the fire that the NFL is turning into the NBA. ------------------------------------------------- In all of our analysis on this game, I think someone needs to mention that TJ has a shoulder injury on his throwing arm. Not making excuses - it just needs to be mentioned. That "hail Mary" pass as time expired was pretty ugly....

Anyone who saw Delhomme in his last season in Cleveland knows he's got nothing left in that rag arm so the only plus you'd get from putting him in is experience. And let's not bring up Delhomme's last playoff performance - wasn't it an NFL record seven INTs?
