INDIANAPOLIS -- The Houston Texans strolled into Indianapolis sitting on top of the AFC South and with a MVP candidate in quarterback Deshaun Watson.
But by the time the game ended, the Colts were on top of the division, led by a quarterback who had a career performance less than two months after their franchise quarterback suddenly retired.
The Colts won their third straight game over the Texans, 30-23, sending a message to the rest of the AFC that they can’t be overlooked.
The schedule is in the Colts’ favor to make a run and get some distance in the division after back-to-back victories over Kansas City and the Texans.
