HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans are 4-2 and remain atop the AFC South standings after rallying for an overtime win against the Colts on Sunday night.But there are plenty of ways they can improve before next Mondays trip to Denver after playing three lackluster quarters in the victory.Quarterback Brock Osweiler and the offense struggled to get going early for the second straight game, falling behind 13-0 after trailing 24-0 early last week in a loss to Minnesota. Questions remain about Osweiler after hes thrown as many interceptions (8) as touchdowns this season.What happened (Sunday) was we either didnt start the drive with a positive play or we did and then we would get a penalty or some type of sack or (tackle for loss) that would set us back in the drive, OBrien said. We have to eliminate those. We have to eliminate penalties, eliminate the things that make us an inconsistent offense and kind of try to bottle some of the things we did late in the game to be more consistent.The offense rebounded late on Sunday, with Osweiler throwing two touchdown passes in the last three minutes to erase a 14-point deficit and force overtime. He then directed a drive that ended with the winning field goal.Critics have been hard on Osweiler because of his inconsistent play after he signed a $72 million contract to join the Texans. He isnt sure what Sundays comeback win showed about him, but hopes people understand the work hes putting in to get better.The struggles weve had arent due to a lack of preparation or a lack of confidence or anything like that, he said. We come in here ... and we prepare extremely hard all week long to be successful. I understand there (have) been some frustrating moments, but this team showed a lot of heart (Sunday), and I hope people saw that, as well.OBrien thinks a key to the offense improving is getting running back Lamar Miller more touches. Miller was the star of the win over the Colts, finishing with a season-high 149 yards rushing with a touchdown and adding a receiving score.Hes already been very involved in the offense and his 125 carries rank second in the NFL, but OBrien still want to give him more opportunities.The more we get Lamar the ball, probably the better, OBrien said. Because I think when he touches the ball usually good things happen. Whether its in the run or the passing game or screens or however we get him the ball, I think its probably going to be good for the Houston Texans.Houstons pass rush has remained solid despite the loss of last years NFL Defensive Player of the Year, J.J. Watt. However, the Texans are looking to shore up their run game after Frank Gore became the first Indianapolis player to rush for 100 yards since 2012.There were times where we looked like we were really doing a great job stopping the run, but too many double-digit yardage runs, too many double-digit drives, OBrien said.The Texans will also have to make some adjustments this week after cornerback Kevin Johnson injured his foot Sunday and is out indefinitely. Houston has had a lot of injuries to the secondary recently.The Texans opened Sundays game without starting cornerback Kareem Jackson and safety Quintin Demps before cornerback Johnathan Joseph left with a forearm injury.Houston will likely get those three players back this week, but OBrien wouldnt provide any details on when Johnson might return.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Marlins Jerseys Authentic .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.
