Colts and Texans Locked in for Loaded Thursday Night Matchup

Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports

Unlike its reputation from years past, Thursday Night Football has produced some pretty compelling television at times this season. Those of us who didn’t change the channel in the final seconds of last week’s game saw unprecedented violence when Myles Garrett swung and hit Mason Rudolph in the head with his helmet. And this week, Indianapolis travels to Houston for an AFC South game between two teams who are in what feels like a dead heat for the top spot.

With twin 6-4 records, the Colts and Texans have been trading first place in the division back and forth all season, making this divisional race the closest in the league.
