The Houston Texans (5-2) are set to face off against the Indianapolis Colts (4-3) on Sunday in Week 8 at NRG Stadium, with crucial AFC South implications on the line. Historically, the Colts have posed a challenge for the Texans, particularly when standout running back Jonathan Taylor is performing well.
A victory for the Texans would elevate their standing in the AFC South, ensuring they maintain at least a .500 record in the division. This win would also keep them in the second spot in the AFC overall, right behind Kansas City and tied with Buffalo.
On the other hand, the Colts are aiming for a win to tie for first place in the division with a 2-1 record. Anthony Richardson, who previously scored two touchdowns in NRG Stadium, was on track for a standout game before exiting with a concussion in the first quarter during his last visit.
For viewers, the Texans vs. Colts game will be broadcast live on CBS, with Andrew Catalon providing play-by-play commentary, Tiki Barber offering analysis, and AJ Ross reporting from the sidelines. Fans also have streaming options available through Fubo, which is offering a free trial to new subscribers, and Paramount+.
The start time for the Texans vs. Colts game is yet to be announced.
