The Texans continued to display a much improved defense against the Broncos on Sunday night. The offense played ok, but not well enough to win. David Carr completed 15 of 22 passes for 128 yards and a pick. Sage Rosenfels completed 10 of 15 passes for 96 yards and a TD.
The running backs were slowed down a bit by the Broncos, a team that runs the same style of offense. Wali Lundy carried the ball 10 times for 44 yards. Vernand Morency carried the ball 13 times for 26 yards.
The defense played pretty well. The vaunted Broncos running game had 107 yards, but only averaged 3.5 yards per carry. The Broncos only completed 48.4% of their passes for a net 164 yards passing.
