HOUSTON – To say tonight's game against the Houston Texans is merely an important game for the Indianapolis Colts is a gross understatement.
To put it in more appropriate terms, this game is a must-win for the reigning AFC South champions.
How can this game be so monumental seeing how it's only Week 5 of the NFL season?
Because the schedule tells us so.
After tonight's game at NRG Stadium against 1-3 Houston, the schedule gets infinitely tougher for the Colts.
Consider: The next five Colts opponents have an impressive collective record of 16-3, the lone three losses belonging to the struggling New Orleans Saints.
