INDIANAPOLIS — Philip Rivers dropped a dime to T.Y. Hilton down the middle; Zach Pascal powered his way into the end zone for the game-winning score and the defense held up against Deshaun Watson in the waning minutes. That's how the Colts held on to beat the Houston Texans 27-20, move to 10-4 on the season and remain in a tie for first place atop the AFC South.
Watson's touchdown pass to Keke Coutee knotted the game at 20 with six minutes to go, putting the ball in the hands of Rivers and the offense. Rivers responded my making one of the best throws of the season, flicking a 41-yard pass down the middle of the field to Hilton to set the Colts up for what would be the game-winning score.
