Michael Pittman Jr. had been in a bit of a slump over the past couple of weeks, and it looked like Reich really wanted to get MPJ going on in order to break out of said slump before the most important stretch of games of the season. The Colts’ #1 receiver not only had a team-high 8 targets but also had two carries for 33 yards. Other than Pittman, no other Colts’ receiver has been productive this season, so getting him going is very important.

Tyrod Taylor has been good for the Texans this season and when healthy has been able to give the Texans’ offense a few good plays here and there each game to put some points on the board.
