Texans quarterback Case Keenum proved in Week 9 that his strong debut against the Chiefs was no fluke. The undrafted second-year pro hit 20 of 34 throws for 350 yards and three touchdowns, all to Andre Johnson, in the 27-24 loss to the Colts.
Keenum hurt Indy on bootlegs and rollouts, and he ran for 26 yards on three carries. He led his team into position for a tying field goal, but it missed left at the buzzer. For the second straight game he did not throw an interception.
Keenum started fast, scrambling and hitting DeVier Posey for 11 yards on the opening drive. On the next play he faked a handoff and found Johnson behind the defense for a 62-yard score. Keenum hooked up with Johnson for two more first-half touchdowns.
After posting a 123.4 passer rating, Keenum heads into Week 10 at Arizona with momentum.
