The Texans travel to Indianapolis this weekend to do battle with the Colts on a Monday nighter. Big AFC South matchup with the winner to get excellent position for the stretch run. Both teams have lost players to injury for the season so both teams will be using backup players in key positions. This will be the Texans first opportunity in their 8.5 year existence to sweep the Colts. It is also Coach Gary Kubiak's 3rd opportunity this year to take his career record (35-35) to over .500 for the first time. Is the 3rd time the charm?
TV: ESPN, Monday 7:30 CST
