...to a potentially great season. LINK (http://www.cbssports.com/#!/nfl/story/15564294/texans-have-easy-path-to-potentially-great-season)
HOUSTON -- I'm trying not to overreact to this game, this one game, this first game of a long NFL season after a strike-shortened training camp. Trying. Here goes:
If Peyton Manning doesn't come back this season, the Colts won't win more than four times.
How did I do?
Oh, wait. That's not my only reaction to the Houston Texans' 34-7 victory against Indianapolis on Sunday. There's also this:
The Texans could win 12 games this season, and they could win 12 games easily.
Now then, give me a second to walk away from my computer, have a sip of water, get my head straight. ... OK, I'm back and re-reading what I've written -- nope, no overreactions there. I feel good about it, even knowing what a pitfall it can be to make season-long judgments based on one game.
But what a game it was.
