Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans - Sunday, January 8, 2023 - Postgame Notes
“Proud of the guys overcoming three turnovers in the first half. Gave ourselves a shot to win at the end. Unfortunately, didn't make enough plays at the end to get off the field. But we ran the ball well. Battled with it. And just unfortunately they made two huge plays at the end and then converted. So, a disappointing way that we finished the season. But proud of the guys' effort. They left it all out there for sure.”
