The Indianapolis Colts are coming off one of their most gut-wrenching losses in franchise history. The team will be looking for a quick rebound against one of their divisional rivals.
The Houston Texans are coming to Lucas Oil Stadium, but this will be a newly looked franchise that has seen a lot of turnover since the last time these two teams faced. Frank Reich has dominated the series since he took over in 2018, he is 5-2 against Houston, which includes a wildcard win that was on the road.
Despite sitting 1-4, the season isn’t completely over for the Colts, but a loss on Sunday would basically be the final nail in the coffin to their playoff hopes. The Texans aren’t the pushover team that most analysts thought they would be this season so the team shouldn’t be looking over them and counting this as an easy victory.
Week 6 will tell a lot about Indianapolis and how their collapse on Monday night has impacted their mindset. Will we see a team that quickly shakes it off to dominate a familiar opponent? Do they struggle to barely win or fall to a 1-5 record?
Sunday afternoon will be very telling of what to expect going forward, here are the top five things to watch during the matchup:
