HOUSTON -- An Indianapolis Colts player rushed for more than 100 yards Sunday night.
Ordinarily, this wouldn't be news, but it had been 1,400 days since that's happened.
Running back Frank Gore rushed for 106 yards, but the Colts lost on the road to the Houston Texans in overtime, 26-23.
The Colts had a 14-point lead late in the game, but Houston came back, thanks to two touchdown passes from Texans' quarterback Brock Osweiler.
"I think a lot of fans tonight missed a terrific performance in the third, fourth quarter by a team," Osweiler said. "Nothing was perfect early on, I understand why fans were frustrated but I hope they learned tonight that this team is never going to quit fighting."
"When you have them down and have a 14-point lead late in the fourth quarter, you've got to be able to close games out," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "We did not do that today."
"Everybody stood together and everybody did their job and made plays and (was) trying to get the ball back to the offense," Jadeveon Clowney said.
Luck had a 22-yard touchdown throw in the first quarter and pushed the lead to 20-9 when he dashed into the end zone untouched on a 14-yard run early in the fourth.
Miller scored his first touchdown as a Texan on a 1-yard run on Houston's first drive of the second half, but the extra point failed to leave the Texans down 13-9.
The Texans stopped the Colts on fourth down after that, but Osweiler's pass was intercepted two plays later. Luck's TD run came on the next drive.
The Colts led 13-0 in the second quarter after two field goals by Adam Vinatieri and a touchdown catch by Jack Doyle. Osweiler and Houston's offense struggled to get going early and Osweiler had negative-9 yards passing in the first quarter. The Texans cut it to 13-3 before halftime on Novak's 27-yard field goal.
Before Sunday, the last time the Colts had a 100-yard rusher was Week 15 of the 2012 season against the Texans. Vick Ballard ran for 105 yards in the loss.
