The Indianapolis Colts (0-0) host the Houston Texans (0-0) for the regular season opener, as the two AFC South rivals continue this season right where they last left off last year’s—playing one another in another divisional clash that once again could have serious playoff implications down the road for the two serious AFC postseason hopefuls.
This Colts squad will look a lot different offensively than the team that narrowly fell to the Texans during the 2023 regular season finale because of the return of dynamic second-year starting quarterback Anthony Richardson. The Texans defense should expect a heavy dose of star workhorse Jonathan Taylor again, as well as Richardson situationally, in what should be a very dangerous and difficult-to-stop Colts’ RPO game.
