Texans seeks repeat win vs. ex-NFL champ Colts

Previews Comments Off
The Houston Texans seeks to improve their 4-2 win-loss record when they visit the Indianapolis Colts in the 2010 National Football League season on November 1.
Holding a similar record with the Colts, the Texans hope for a repeat win against the former NFL champion whom they earlier beat in their home-opener 34-24 victory lass September 12.
Expected to take charge for the Texans against the Colts is young running back Arian Foster who had a great game in their earlier win against latter.
In their game, Foster had produced plenty of career highs of 33 carries, 231 yards rushing and three touchdowns — all in the second half — on the ground.
Foster said the Texans will play hard in the game so that they can come up with another victory against the home-team Colts.
The defending champion for its part faces a tough challenge against the Texans in their game.
Although they are playing in-front of their fans, the Colts are in danger of losing their game due to the injuries suffered by some of its key players.
Pro Bowl tight end Dallas Clark and receiver Austin Collie, who both caught touchdown passes from Colts superstar quarterback Peyton Manning earlier this year are both out with an injury.
Clark is out for the season with a wrist injury while Collie, who has a team-high six touchdown receptions, has an injured right thumb that could
sideline him for several weeks.
Running back Joseph Addai is also doubtful with a shoulder injury, and backup Donald Brown is questionable with a lingering hamstring problem.
Despite their predicament, Manning is still optimistic with their chances against the Texans.
Manning assured the Colts fans all over the globe that the team will give their 101 effort to get a win and solidify further their aim to successfully defend their NFL crown this year.
He said the Colts knows the importance of their game which is why the team will fight for it and will not just lay down and allow the Texans to win in-front of their fans.

Woes hound Cowboys suffers 5th loss in 2010 NFL season

Uncategorized Comments Off
Luck continues to evade the Dallas Cowboys in the 2010 National Football League season.
The Cowboys, who is an early favorite to win the Super Bowl crown this year suffers its fifth loss and only a single win in the NFL season with a heart-pounding 35-41 loss to the New York Giants.
What is more unfortunate with the loss is the fact that the Cowboys lose its superstar quarterback Tony Romo for six to eight weeks after suffering a left collarbone injury in the game.
Romo, who is considered as the heart and soul of the Cowboys suffered the injury after he was hit hard by Giants linebacker Michael Boley in one plays in the game.
Now that Romo is injured, the opportunity for the Cowboys to enter the NFL playoffs is getting slimmer since his absence leaves a big-hole to fill in the quarterback position.
Expected to fill in the void left by Romo is 38-year-old Cowboys back-up quarterback Jon Kitna who hadn’t played since Oct. 5, 2008, when he was part of Detroit’s win-less season.
Compared to Romo, Kitna is old and less skilled which is why the Cowboys are up for a huge challenge in their remaining games in the NFL regular season especially that Romo is out with an injury.
Back to the game, the Giants were on mission on the night of October 25, as superstar quarterback Eli Manning took advantage of the absence of Romo powering the Giants from a 13-point deficit to a
41-35 victory that put the Giants a full game ahead of the NFC East and tied for the most wins in the conference.
Manning led New York (5-2) on five straight scoring drives over the middle two quarters, posting 31 points.
The loss is very disappointing for the Cowboys who had the chance to win the game before disaster strike when its superstar quarterback got injured.
Romo is very sad with his injury and loss but he remains optimistic with their chances since a 1-5 win-loss record Cincinnati Bengals was still able to enter the playoffs in the 1970 NFL season.
He said all they have to is to play harder in his absence and always follow the game-plan of the team.
The superstar quarterback also wished his replacement Kitna saying the veteran NFL star now has the chance to shine in his absence.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin for his part is very happy with their victory since it strengthen further their chance to enter the NFL playoffs this year.
Coughlin said the Giants lead by Manning are on a mission to capture the Super Bowl crown from the New Orleans whose superstar quarterback Peyton Manning happens to be the brother of his top quarterback.
The 2010 NFL season is now in full-throttle to bring smiles to professional football fans all over the globe.
