Fitzpatrick completed 15-of-23 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown, with one lost fumble and no interceptions in Thursday's 33-28 loss to the Colts. The fumble was a bad one that ended the Texans' attempt at a game-winning drive. Fitzpatrick otherwise played a decent game, but he wasn't nearly as efficient as his statistics indicate, as he took five sacks and struggled on third downs. The Texans quite clearly prefer to run the ball, with Fitzpatrick averaging just 26.7 pass attempts per game. Even facing a weak Pittsburgh defense, he won't be a great option next week.
