Houston entered that contest with a 3-2 record, while the Colts were 2-3.
Adam Vinatieri drilled a 36-yard field goal with 7:04 remaining in regulation, and the Texans were down by 14. But Brock Osweiler and company erupted for a pair of touchdowns to tie it up at 23, and the Texans prevailed in overtime, 26-23.
Since then, Houston’s gone 2-4, and lost the last three games. The Colts are 4-2 since that Week 6 Sunday night loss, and they carpet-bombed the Jets 41-10 two nights ago.
Osweiler and company aren’t downplaying the importance of the matchup between the two 6-6 ballclubs.
