Texans' Brock Osweiler: Leads late comeback against Indy

Osweiler completed 25 of 39 passes for 269 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Colts.

Analysis:

Osweiler was well on his way to a second straight disastrous performance, but Lamar Miller's huge rushing effort kept the team within striking distance, down by 14 points when they got the ball back with seven minutes remaining in the game. Osweiler completed 11 of his final 13 pass attempts in regulation, leading touchdown drives of 75 and 53 yards to improbably force overtime. After the Houston defense got a quick stop, Osweiler found Jaelen Strong for a 36-yard gain to set up the game-winning chip shot for Nick Novak. While Sunday's finish was impressive, Osweiler has still struggled on the whole this season, completing just 59 percent of his passes and throwing eight interceptions in six games. He could be in for a rough Week 7, heading back to Denver to face his former team.
