faced off was in week four Marlon Mack Jersey , and the Texans were in a much different place. Beginning the season 0-3, Houston edged the Colts 37-34 and haven’t lost a game since. “We are locked in on Houston, ready to go, Colts head coach Frank Reich said on Wednesday. “This is a hot team, we will be in a hostile environment against a team that’s playing very good football.” Houston will feature a fully healthy J.J. Watt, who is currently tied for fourth in the league for sacks. “He is definitely all the way back,” Reich said. “He’s disruptive Quenton Nelson Color Rush Jersey , he’s consistent – all the things that are indicative of his play are there on tape. He’s definitely a force to be reckoned with.” Today’s game is a critical matchup because it could ultimately decide the fate of the AFC South. The Tennessee Titans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-9 on Thursday night, and in order to clinch the division the Texans needed a Titans loss and a win against the Colts.The Texans will look to heavily pressure quarterback Andrew Luck and suppress the Colts’ run game, J.J. Watt and linebacker Jadaveon Clowney will lend a hand in that. The Colts have forced at least one turnover in every game this season and should work to slow down a high-powered Texans offense led by quarterback Desaun Watson and star receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The Texans have allowed the fourth most sacks and the third most quarterback hits this season, so the Colts’ pass rush will be key defensively. While the Colts are the underdog in this divisional matchup, if they are able to contain Watson in the pocket, force turnovers and play on the strengths of the defense, there is a chance a Colts win could disrupt the playoff chase in the entire division. “Houston presents a great challenge https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Andrew-Luck-Jersey ,” Luck said. “Division games on the road, huge challenge so very excited, very excited for this team.” The Indianapolis Colts (6-6) travel to face the Houston Texans (9-3) as their AFC South foes are in the midst of a 9-game win streak. The Colts are coming off of their worst performance of the season and the Texans find themselves putting their offense together to match their defensive output for the first time of the year over the past 5 games.This matchup is a must-win for the Colts as they hope to stay within arm’s reach of a Wild Card berth as it appears that the division might already be too far from their grasp. The Colts allowed 3 sacks last week which was more than they allowed over the past 5 games combined, and there wasn’t much in the way of the playmakers doing their thing in Week 13.On the other hand, the defense has been continuing their opportunistic play which is highly encouraging. The Texans’ offense has been averaging nearly 30 points per game and the Colts will have to continue to stop the run game, put the handcuffs on a couple players in particular, and will need to find a way to keep DeShaun Watson in the pocket and getting consistent pressure on him simultaneously.Offensively Josh Ferguson Jersey , the Colts’ O-line has a monster challenge in keeping J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney out of the backfield, among other disruptors, and will also have to find a way to consistently move the chains with a running game that hasn’t stepped up lately, and a receiver corps that is bereft of playmakers and is extremely hard to predict in terms of weekly production.Today we’ll dive into the matchup a little deeper, and will discuss the keys to a Colts victory in their Week 14 matchup in Houston.Please subscribe, rate and review the channel anywhere you listen to podcasts.Follow our hosts on Twitter: @MDanelySB | @HolderStephen | @chrisblystoneStampede Blue Podcast Links:Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Art 19 | SB Colts Cast YT Channel | Google | Spotify
