Texans OT Duane Brown was beaten for two sacks by Colts DE Dwight Freeney, but coach Gary Kubiak didn't consider replacing him with Rashad Butler. It was Brown's first game since his four-game suspension. Butler replaced him during the suspension. "I never thought of making a change," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Duane's our guy, and Duane did a lot of good things in the game, too. He fought one of the all-time great players. This guy has been doing this to a lot of people for many, many years and doing it there makes it even tougher. We've got a lot of confidence in Duane. We've put him in some tough situations. That tells you how much confidence we have in him. He can play better, and we can also help him better by what we're doing too." Source: USA Today
Freeney made Brown his snitch for most of the game and on our last offensive play Brown didn't even get a hand on him until he was about 5-6 steps into his rush.
