With a wild finish at NRG Stadium over the Houston Texans (4-8), the Indianapolis Colts move to 8-4 on the year and are now tied with Tennessee atop the AFC South.
Sunday’s big win could not have been possible without a big performance from the veteran receiver T.Y. Hilton.
Hilton provided another huge game against Houston, this time totaling eight catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. That now makes two touchdowns in as many weeks for the 31-year-old.
His touchdown came early in the game as he moved across the field untouched and connected with Philip Rivers for the 21-yard score. Hilton looked like his former self today and really led the Colts’ young receiving corps. Hopefully, he can build on this success as the regular season winds down.
The Colts travel to Vegas to take on the Raiders next week, in a game that could go either way. While the offensive woes continued for Indy in the second half, they showed real signs of efficiency in both the pass and run game. They will need Hilton and other veteran players to step up and make plays for this team to have postseason success.
