The Indianapolis Colts are just about at the quarter-pole of the season with five games remaining and a big matchup awaiting them in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.
The Big Picture
The Colts were drubbed by the Titans in Week 12, which put them back a bit in the AFC playoff picture. That said, they still control their own destiny following the loss. They have several winnable games coming up and can make a difference in a big way if they can finish the season strong.
This Week’s Talking Point
The Colts are on the road this week against the Texans. This will be a crucial matchup even though the latter is out of playoff contention. The Colts have to bounce back against their division-mates as to not fall too far in the playoff race. Bouncing back will show this team can move through adversity and still make a run with five games left.
