Houston managed to score just 7 points against the Baltimore Ravens during week 11. It was the first time this season the Texans managed to score less than 10 points in a game.
This late in the season, injuries will always be a factor and that can be said about this contest. J.J. Watt is on the IR, while Will Fuller is questionable for tonight’s game. Fuller has started in 7 games this season, hauling in three touchdown passes.
T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron are both questionable, with Marlon Mack listed as out. It could be a tough night for the Colts if those three men cannot step on the field.
Jacoby Brissett looks ready to roll, but he may be without some offensive weaponry. It will be interesting to see how the Colts can fare without some of their key contributors on offense.
Being the final game of the season between these two teams, the stakes are high. Both teams don’t necessarily have a favorable schedule to close out the year, so all games are must-win moving forward.
