HOUSTON, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Peyton Manning erased a big deficit with three touchdown passes Sunday and the Indianapolis Colts remained unbeaten with a 35-27 victory over Houston.

Indianapolis (11-0), which has 20 regular-season wins in a row, trailed by 17 points in the second quarter.

Manning completed 27-of-35 passes for 244 yards. His touchdown strikes were for 9 yards to Pierre Garcon, 4 yards to Reggie Wayne and 6 to Dallas Clark, the latter sending the Colts ahead to stay at 21-20 with 8:24 left in the game.

The Colts' other touchdowns came on a 26-yard interception run by Clint Session and a 23-yard run by Chad Simpson.

Matt Schaub was 31-for-42 passing for 284 yards and two scores for the Texans (5-6), who have lost three straight games.

Schaub threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Vonta Leach and a 10-yarder to Jacoby Jones.

Chris Brown ran 5 yards for another Houston score.
