Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts live stream: How to watch
By John Buhler
The Indianapolis Colts will host the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon in Week 17. Here is how to watch this AFC South rivalry game online via streaming.
It’s rivalry weekend in the NFL in Week 17. Just because two teams that are horrible didn’t make the AFC playoffs doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch it. One of those games that fits that mold would be the AFC South clash between the Houston Texans (4-11) and the Indianapolis Colts (3-12). Kickoff from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis will be at 1:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 31.
Houston is 4-11 on the year and has a lot of problems. Outside of superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, almost all of their stars got hurt this year. Houston could totally bounce back in 2018 with Deshaun Watson, J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus coming back into the fold. That being said, the Texans can only achieve at most five wins this season. At least the Houston Astros won the World Series.
Indianapolis is even worse than the Texans. The Colts are 3-12 on the year where Andrew Luck didn’t play a snap for Indianapolis. His backup Jacoby Brissett looked serviceable at times, but this has to be the end of the line for head coach Chuck Pagano. It will be interesting to see which direction general manager Chris Ballard goes with presumably its next head coach.
