hoping to rebound from their monday night loss in atlanta, the broncos returned home for an afc duel with the houston texans. the broncos jumped out to a 5–0 lead in the first quarter, with defensive end elvis dumervil sacking texans' quarterback matt schaub in the end zone for a safety, followed by a 32-yard field goal placekicker matt prater. however, the texans would reel off 21 unanswered points, with schaub throwing three touchdown passes—a 60-yarder to wide receiver andre johnson, followed in the second quarter by a 3-yarder to running back arian foster and a 52-yarder to wide receiver kevin walter. the broncos narrowed the texans' lead to 21–11 at halftime, with a pair of field goals by prater—from 23 and 53 yards. the texans increased their lead in the third quarter, with a 41-yard field goal by placekicker shayne graham, followed by a 14-yard touchdown pass from schaub to tight end owen daniels. trailing 31–11 with 10:20 remaining in the fourth quarter, the broncos tried to rally, with quarterback peyton manning throwing a pair of touchdown passes—a 38-yarder to wide receiver brandon stokley and a 6-yarder to tight end joel dreessen to narrow houston's lead to 31–25 with three minutes remaining. after forcing a texans' punt, the broncos got the football back with 20 seconds remaining, but the texans' defense stood their ground.
