The Texans supplanted themselves as AFC South leaders after beating the Colts in a riveting and sublime 20-17 game. Deep passes after the run was established. A great run-run-pass-pass stop. Frank Reich wasted a time out and the Colts never got the ball back. Houston is 7-4 and the Colts are 6-5.
All of this happened on Thursday. Aside from Baltimore, the rest of the AFC got going yesterday, and regardless of tonight’s game, Houston’s position in the playoff picture doesn’t change.
Currently the Texans are the #3 seed and would be hosting a Wildcard Round game.
