HOUSTON – The Indianapolis Colts went from being in control of the AFC South to now needing to take care of their business and get help from others after a 20-17 loss to the Houston Texans on Thursday.
A victory would have given the Colts a sweep of the Texans and sole possession of the division lead. The Colts (6-5) went from having a 74 percent chance to win the division with a victory to having those odd reduced to 19 percent after the loss.
Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus’ unit went from being a bend-but-don’t-break group to one that couldn’t stop Houston’s offense from getting chunk plays.
