Action was somewhat balanced on this game.
Cleveland has now won four games this season and two consecutive. Houston, meanwhile, has won eight straight.
ESPN.com writes of Houston: "Week 14 against red-hot Indianapolis. Houston's eight-game win streak began against Indianapolis after coach Frank Reich went for it on fourth down in Colts territory instead of punting, allowing the Texans to kick the winning field goal. The Texans came into the season with the easiest schedule, and four of their final six games are at home, but Indy should give them the toughest test the rest of the way. This is also perhaps the most important game because a victory against the Colts, who have won five in a row, would essentially clinch the AFC South for the Texans."
ESPN.com also notes in regard to the Browns that they “have made progress against some of the lower-ranked defenses the past few games, but against Houston they face the league's sixth-ranked defense on the road.”
