Week 8 is here as the Houston Texans (5-2) host the Indianapolis Colts (4-3) at NRG Stadium. The two teams met back in Week 1, with Houston winning on the road 29-27.
They look to sweep the series with their AFC South rival, which would also give them a firm lead in the division. The Colts are the only other team in the division with a winning record, making them the lone threat at this point.
