Franklin started at strong-side linebacker against the Texans and was part of an Indianapolis defense that held the Texans to 322 total yards. Houston was 3-for-13 (.231) on third down and did not score until the 10:57 mark of the fourth quarter.
The game marked Franklin's third start of the year. He also started twice during the regular season. In 16 regular-season games, Franklin tallied 29 total tackles.
