The Indianapolis Colts outlasted the Houston Texans 30-23 Sunday afternoon, and thereby took sole possession of first place in the AFC South.
While the Colts were expected to “Run the Damn Ball” early and often in this one, it was actually their passing attack that elevated Indianapolis to victory—facing a stingy Houston Texans’ defensive front seven.
The Texans defense, already banged up in its secondary, was unable to really stall the Colts passing game until late in this one, and the Indianapolis defense made a serious of key stops and turnovers throughout the game that helped preserve a pivotal divisional win.
