HOUSTON — Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano isn’t sure when Andrew Luck can play again.

Not to worry though. He’s got the ageless Matt Hasselbeck to fill in.

Andre Johnson caught two touchdown passes from the 40-year-old Hasselbeck, the second for 2 yards in the fourth quarter, to help the Colts beat the Houston Texans 27-20 on Thursday night.

“Got the best backup in the league right now,” Pagano said. “We could argue that.”

Released by Houston in March after 12 seasons with the team, Johnson had six catches for 77 yards.

Hasselbeck won his second straight game filling in for Luck, who was out with a shoulder injury.

Hasselbeck’s performance was even more impressive given the fact that he was battling a bacterial infection that hospitalized him this week. He started feeling ill just before halftime Sunday in a victory over Jacksonville and didn’t start feeling better until Thursday night.

“I honestly feel like this isn’t even real right now,” Hasselbeck said.
