Week 9 MNF second half Open Thread
The Steelers lead 14-10 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter. You know what that means...
Go Steelers and hopefully this thread will have less disturbing random pics.

Week 9: MNF open thread
Broncos-Steelers, two likely AFC contenders. Personally I'll be rooting for the Steelers to give the Colts a 2 game lead on the rest of the AFC, and because Smire-Time Hines Wald and HARF HARF Ben are two of my all time favorite characters in any medium.
Even more interesting is the battle for the leagues drunkest, beardedest, quarterback in the league.

Recap Week Nine: Colts 20 - Texans 17
A week after the 49ers contained the Colts offense by refusing to show their alignment or tip their scheme until the final seconds of the play clock the Colts countered, with their opening drive coming at a frantic pace running 9 plays in barely over 2 minutes to move from their 20 to the edge of field goal range.
The Colts D came out strong holding the Texans to 7 yards with a turnover on 3 drives in the first quarter and not allowing a first down until midway through the 2nd quarter. Unfortunately the Colts offense, despite crossing the Texans 40 on each of their 6 1st half drives they only converted it into 13 points (Downs, TD, FG, FG, Punt, INT).
After dominating the Texans O for a quarter and a half the tables were flipped with the Texans mounting three 80+ yard drives in addition to knocking in a field goal before the half to score 17 unanswered (which would have likely been 24 if not for Powers' heady fumble recovery for a touchback). At the same time the Colts O went 3 and out, and ended a promising drive with a Reggie Wayne interception on a terribly called and even more disastrously executed trick play (on which Pierre Garcon picked up his requisite penalty a game, again for OPI which was declined as he was unable to prevent the pick).
With the Colts trailing in the 4th quarter again both units stepped back up, with the D forcing a 3 and out despite having been on the field for 13 of the 17 minutes elapsed in the 2nd half and the O launching a 61 yard TD drive to retake the lead with 7 minutes to play.

Chiefs to release Larry Johnson
Johnson will hit waivers (unlikely he's claimed according to Schefter) before becoming a free agent.
Todd Haley is not a man to cross apparently (and obviously Larry Johnson is a moron).
The Colts week 10 opponent, The Patriots, have been rumored to be a landing point for the disgruntled back.
