The 6-6 Indianapolis Colts are looking to bounce back against the 2-9 Houston Texans after falling to Tampa Bay 38-31 in Week 12.
I’d expect a heavy dosage of running back Jonathan Taylor early and often against the Texans’ 31st-ranked run defense, especially given Taylor’s success against Houston back in Week 6 (14 carries, 145 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, avg. of 10.4 yards per carry).
One factor to keep in mind on Indy’s side is the absence of Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly, who was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Second-year center Danny Pinter will start in Kelly’s place.
