(Houston, TX) - Matt Hasselbeck and the Colts prevailed over the Houston Texans with a 27-20 victory on Thursday Night Football.
Hasselbeck, making the second straight start for an injured Andrew Luck, threw for 213 yards and 2 touchdowns. Frank Gore ran for 98 yards and a touchdown while Andre Johnson hauled in a pair of touchdown passes against his former team and collected 77 yards receiving.
For Houston, Brian Hoyer replaced Ryan Mallet and threw for 312 yards and a pair of touchdowns before throwing a back-breaking interception with under two minutes in the game.
The Colts move to 3-2 and have won 16 straight division games. They'll have some extended time off to rest up and get healthy before the New England Patriots come knocking at the door in Week 6.
Former Colts head coach Lindy Infante passed away at the age of 75 on Thursday. Lindy's wife said he died in St. Augustine after a lengthy illness.
Infante was the Colts head coach in 1996, leading the team to the playoffs in his first season but was fired after the 1997 season when the team finished 3-13.
