Colts Win, But Miss Out On Playoffs

Texans win AFC South Division with home win over Jaguars. Colts beat Titans to finish 8-8 in likely coach Chuck Pagano's final game.

If Sunday is indeed his final game as Indianapolis Colts head coach, Chuck Pagano went out a winner but his 8-8 team missed the playoffs for the first time since 2011.

The Colts needed a miracle, nine favorable outcomes to secure a tiebreaker, but the Houston Texans (9-7) ended those hopes with a 30-6 home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars to win the AFC South Division title.

If nothing else, a 30-24 Colts victory over Tennessee at Lucas Oil Stadium meant the lowly 3-13 Titans clinched the No.
