On the opening play of the fourth quarter, Osweiler dropped back to pass, cocked his arm to throw the ball then before moving his arm forward the ball slipped out of his hand and was recovered by the Broncos' Chris Harris Jr. on the Texans 25-yard line.

The Broncos pounded the ball on the ground all night, rushing for 190 yards and getting one of the best performances in awhile from C.J. Anderson, who led the way with 107 yards on 16 carries. They helped the defense overcome its recent spate of slow starts by opening the game with a pair of three-and-outs.
