INDIANAPOLIS — It's time to take a look at the unofficial snap counts from Sunday's 2018 Week 4 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans.
The Colts got off to a quick start, scoring on their opening possession, but would be stymied by the visitors for a significant period of time after that. With less than seven minutes remaining in the third quarter, Indianapolis found itself down 18, 28-10. That's when the Colts really stepped on the gas, outscoring Houston 21-3 to force overtime.
From there, the two teams traded field goals in the overtime period, but after unsuccessfully going for it on 4th and 4 from their own 43-yard line with less than a minute to go, the Colts saw the Texans quickly get a first down on their end, and then nail a 37-yard, game-winning field goal as time expired to escape Indy with a wild 37-34 victory.
The Colts (1-3) don't have much time to dwell on the loss, however, as they travel to take on the New England Patriots in just three days on Thursday Night Football. The Patriots, the defending AFC champions, defeated the Miami Dolphins, 38-7, yesterday to move to 2-2 on the season.
But before we completely move on to that Colts-Patriots matchup, let's take a look at the Week 4 participation, courtesy of the NFL GSIS (Game Statistics & Information) folks:
