What to Know

After two games on the road, the Houston Texans are heading back home. Houston and the Indianapolis Colts will face off in an AFC South battle at 8:20 p.m. ET on Thursday at NRG Stadium. Houston is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory.

A victory for the Texans just wasn't in the stars last week as the team never even grasped a temporary lead. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 41-7 punch to the gut against the Baltimore Ravens. QB Deshaun Watson had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw one interception and fumbled the ball once with only 5.83 yards per passing attempt.

Meanwhile, Indianapolis strolled past the Jacksonville Jaguars with points to spare, taking the contest 33-13. Indianapolis' success was spearheaded by the efforts of RB Marlon Mack, who rushed for 109 yards and one TD on 14 carries, and RB Jonathan Williams, who picked up 116 yards on the ground on 13 carries. Williams didn't help his team much against the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Indianapolis' win lifted them to 6-4 while Houston's loss dropped them down to 6-4. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Houston is stumbling into the game with the fourth most passing yards allowed per game in the league, having given up 289.1 on average. But Indianapolis is fifth worst in the NFL in passing yards per game, with only 216.9 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
