Internet reacts to Colts' dominant victory over Texans
The Indianapolis Colts routed the Houston Texans 21-7 in the wild-card round Saturday.
Indianapolis led 21-0 at halftime and didn't look back, as Andrew Luck threw two touchdowns and Marlon Mack rushed for a single-game postseason franchise record 148 yards and added a score of his own.
The internet couldn't help but react to the Colts' dominant performance:
Texans' offensive line takes brunt of criticism
Houston surrendered a league-worst 62 sacks during the regular season and was ghastly once again Saturday. Indianapolis allowed a league-best 18 sacks during the season and the contrast between the two units was on full display.

Texans need to rebuild their OL. It’s bad at home and on the road

I swear they could play the whole Seahawks-Cowboys game in the time Andrew Luck has to throw.

Texans fans struggle to cope with loss
The Ringer's Shea Serrano, a noted Texans superfan, tried to tweet through it.

Breakout stars
Colts running back Mack, cornerback Kenny Moore, and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus were lauded for their contributions.
Mack finished with 148 yards, a new Colts playoff record. The previous record was 147 by Zack Crockett in the 1995 Wild Card vs the Chargers.

#Colts DC Matt Eberflus’ head-coaching interview with the #Browns is scheduled for tomorrow. Good timing with his fast, disciplined D on full display tonight. What a performance in Houston.
