In what will be one of the most discussed Week 18 games in NFL history, the Houston Texans‘ last-second 32-31 win over the Indianapolis Colts moved them out of the No. 1 spot in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Colts currently sit at No. 5 overall, but they could move up with wins from either the Broncos or Cardinals.
Offensive spotlight: In maybe his last opportunity before the Texas attempt to draft his replacement, QB Davis Mills put forth an up-and-down performance. He finished 23-of-39 for 300 yards with three scores, two picks, two big-time throws and two turnover-worthy plays.
Defensive spotlight: After a breakout second season, Jonathan Greenard’s third year hasn’t quite gone to plan. That’s why it was nice to see him go out on a bit of a high note going into a contract year in 2023 — his pick-six in the second quarter set the tone for the game.
Rookie spotlight: It was one of the better games we saw all season for guard Kenyon Green. The Texans first-rounder allowed only three pressures on 44 pass-blocking snaps. It was only his third above-average grade game in pass protection on the season.
Offensive line spotlight: It was an absolute show of a season for Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who was without a shred of a doubt the best pass-protecting left tackle in the league. Against the Colts, he allowed all of one pressure on 44 pass-blocking snaps. For the season as a whole, Tunsil allowed only 18 pressures.
