The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts are both 1-4 and their seasons are about to slip away from them.
However, there still is a pathway to win the division.
The Tennessee Titans are atop the division at 3-2. For the Colts, they have already dropped a game to the Titans. The Texans can use their series with Tennessee, which has not been commenced yet, to catch up with the Titans. Don’t forget that Houston is already 1-0 in the AFC South, too.
The problem is Houston will need to add some other wins on top of their division wins. The same issue seems to be a problem for the Colts.
Unless there is a tie, someone has to leave Lucas Oil Stadium 2-4 and someone has to dip to 1-5 and start thinking about their placement in the 2022 NFL draft.
