With less than four minutes to go, Sage Rosenfels tries to make a play, but the ball comes loose. Gary Brackett picks it up and scores a touchdown for the Colts, who were down by three points. The Texans, who were previously up by 17, are now in trouble. If Rosenfels had held onto the ball, it would have been a first down. The Houston fans are disheartened, but the Texans still have possession of the ball.
