The Texans-Colts game took a sudden turn at halftime after Houston head coach Gary Kubiak collapsed on the sideline.
Kubiak’s Texans dominated the Colts throughout the first half of the Sunday Night Football feature. The frightening incident occurred near the 20-yard line as both teams made their way to the locker rooms. It is unclear what caused Kubiak to collapse or if he has any preexisting conditions.
