The Texans held a 2-13-1 record heading into the final week of the season and appeared destined to secure the coveted first overall pick. Houston simply had to lose to the Colts, who have struggled in 2022 themselves owners of a 4-11-1 record.

However, the players appeared to not get the memo. Houston's starters refused to give in and rallied hard as quarterback Davis threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns.
