The Indianapolis Colts welcomed a resurgent Houston Texans team to Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 13 in what felt almost like a must-win game. Luckily, it wasn't a true must-win game, as Indy would go on to lose by a score of 20-16, but this is a loss that not only severely hurts the Colts' chance for a better playoff seed, but also suddenly puts them in second place for the division behind Jacksonville.
When Indy was 7-1 through the first eight weeks of the season, it felt like the division was already locked up for them. Since then, the team has lost three of its last four games, and the formerly high-flying offense has been grounded to mediocrity.
