Texans 27, Colts 24

The biggest upset of the year, we're told.

I'm here to give the devil his due. Mario Williams played well. Ron Dayne, whom the Texans would not have touched had they selected Reggie Bush, was a man on fire: 153 yards, two TDs.

But. But.

Vince Young: two TD passes, one run. The Titans are about ready to make the play-offs after starting 0-5.

Matt Leinart: a brisk, efficient day before being removed for injury: one TD pass.

Reggie Bush: 130 yards, one TD.

Yearrgh.

Reggie, Vince, Matt, and, er, Mario

Reggie Bush: 125 yards receiving, plus a touchdown. 162 yards of total offense in a thrashing of the formerly hot team of the week, the Dallas Cowboys.

Vince Young: a 39-yard gallop for a game-winning touchdown in overtime. To beat the Texans.

Matt Leinart: Two touchdown passes in a victory over Seattle.

Mario Williams. Three tackles in a losing effort. To Vince Young's Titans.

No: I'm never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, ever letting this go.

Vince Bowl: One day remaining

Simmons checks in, of course.

Money quote:

Hard to believe those reports that the David Carr era is wrapping up in Houston. It seemed so promising there for ... actually, wait, there wasn't a single moment when it ever seemed promising. Scratch that. Anyway, can you think of a worse turn of events for Texan fans than Reggie Bush's fantasy breakout week happening on the tail end of back-to-back "All Vince Young does is win football games!" weeks? Now they're about to get their butts kicked this week by the franchise that ditched them (the Titans) and the rookie QB they passed on (Young). On the bright side, if there's ever a week for somebody to hold up a "BRING BACK CAPERS" sign, this is it. I have my fingers crossed.

If I were at the game, I'd bring that sign

Reggie? Vince? Matt? Er, Mario?

The debate rages on.

Reggie's four touchdowns

Didn't get to this. As posted by The Irish Trojan, Reggie Bush scores four touchdowns in New Orleans's victory over San Francisco.

Meanwhile, Vince Young brought the Tennessee Titans storming back to victory against a second Manning brother in seven days.

At the same time, the Texans defeated Oakland despite the best efforts (negative five yards passing) of QB David Carr.

I counted three kids walking around this city wearing New Orleans number 25 this week.

And Houstonian Vince Young–who basically begged the Texans to draft him–comes home with his new team to play the Texans this Sunday. Reliant Stadium will bleed burnt orange.

Lord, to live in Houston now.
