Mine would have to be the 2nd game of the season (2007) at Carolina. I want to say the Texans were a 14 point dog, and then Carolina showed those odds were legit when they scored TDs on the 1st 2 possessions. Then Schaub and AJ just took over the game.

The way the Texans played in that game shows to me the type of team they are capable of being next year.

I would say the win over Tennessee this season. It was the first time I attended a Texans vs. Titans game and we pulled off the upset.

Even though I couldn't see most of it and had to listen to it over the radio in the car, the Green Bay game was our offense's first victory over a legit team this season. Although I think the Denver Thursday night game is a close second, if only because our defense was at top form that night.

I would say the last minute drive and QB sneak on the final play against a Miami team was a highlight. Green bay ranks up there with the Denver Thursday night game and the saint blow out last year too. Oh and throw in the Tampa game we won also.

On the Titan game, still not sure why they didn't try to kick a win against us.

I think the Bears game. We knocked them out of the playoffs and finished the season 5-1 with a very positive attitude for next season.

They were kicking into the wind and good thing for us is that Fisher apparently didn't have faith that they could make it. Which might have been the right call but wrong play given to get that first down.

I would have to say our 1st win against Manning & da Colts. I remember Manning walking off da field, shaking his head in dis-believe, that was PRICELESS!!! I got a real-kick out of dat.:)

I have to agree with dbrudder and say the Dolphins game. It was pretty close all game and we could have played better so that it didn't have to come to the wire. BUt when the team had to execute, it did, and pulled off an amazing last minute drive ending with a last second touchdown (not one of those dime-a-dozen game ending field goal drives), to turn the season around. Even without the incredible heart breaks in the games that came before it, that would have been a special game. In light of them it was absolutely huge.
Also the Dolphins turned out to be a pretty good team after all.

I have to agree. Give us a top 10 D next year and we will cause a lot of problems for a lot of teams.

My favorite game, was beating Indy at Reliant in 2006. When Indy was playing for Home Field, but didn't bring enough to Houston, to get the job done. Ron Dayne kept the ball out of Peyton Manning's hands, 3 yards at a time.

I was rolling up in my seats, watching Peyton pout, as he watched Ron Dayne, and the Houston Texans March down the field, and Kris Brown chips one in from 48 yards.

We were the last team to beat the Colts that year, as they went on to win the Super Bowl.

I would go with the game right before that. The home opener against the Chiefs.

It was a textbook win. We came out, took a lead, then ran the ball to consume the clock and basically dictated the entire game. That is how you play football. Plus Mario got a touchdown.

Watching Mario beat up David Garrard and the rest of the defense making Maurice Jones-Drew look silly was great.

Oh and cap it off with a pair of back-to-back TD runs and you have magic.

Also, it was our first Monday night game.

I loved our first Monday Night game. The fans were pumped up. The players were pumped up. Battle red night! The excitement was powerful in Reliant that night. It was an awesome game.
