The Houston Texans earned their most important victory of the season Thursday with a 20-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts at NRG Stadium.
As a result, Houston seized sole possession of first place in the AFC South at 7-4 and avoided a season sweep and lost tiebreaker at the hands of the Colts in the process. The trio of Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller proved too much for the visitors' secondary in a low-scoring battle.
Indianapolis is still well within striking distance at 6-5 but is just 1-3 in its last four games.
