The Broncos had their slim playoff hopes dashed in Houston on Thursday Night at the hands of the improving Houston Texans.  Jay Cutler had another solid game as he completed 27 of 39 passes for 254 yards with a TD pass.  Selvin Young (8 car, 34 yards) and Travis Henry (10 car, 27 yards) never got the running game going for the Broncos in this game.  Brandon Marshall (11 rec, 107 yards) and TE Tony Scheffler (7 rec, 100 yards, TD) both gave outstanding efforts in this game.  The Broncos finished up with 72 yards rushing on 20 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 27 of 39 passes for 236 yards.

D.J. Williams led the Broncos with 9 tackles in this game.  The Texans finished up with 158 yards rushing on 31 carries (5.1 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 27 passes for 200 yards.
