Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson Joins Elite Club in Loss to Colts; Takes Fault For Loss Because of Late Fumble

Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson had a heck of  a night Thursday against the Colts. He went in to the game needed just 19-yards to break in to an elite club--the 13K career receiving yards milestone. Only fourteen others in the league have cracked the elusive mark, and sure enough he became No. 15 after a seven reception, 99-yard performance that included his first touchdown of the season.

But is he happy? No.

He feels like his late fumble cost the team the game (via HoustonChron):

“It cost my team,” said Johnson, who recorded team highs in catches (seven) and yards (99) during the Texans’ 33-28 defeat to Indy at NRG Stadium. “I accept full responsibility for it. It’s probably why we lost (Thursday night).”

“I just tried to make something happen before really protecting the ball. … I wish I could play again (Friday) to change that and redeem myself,” Johnson said.

If only it was that easy.

Instead he'll have to wait close to two weeks to make up for it when the Texans take on the Steelers on Monday Night Football.
