The Colts are cruising -- can the Texans slow them down?
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
Now sure, two of those wins came against Jacksonville and Tennessee, but Sunday's victory over Baltimore is certainly impressive. After three straight 300-yard games, Andrew Luck leads the NFL in passing yards, Ahmad Bradshaw is getting it done on the ground and through the air (5.1 yards per carry, four touchdown catches) and the defense is holding opponents to 21.6 points per game.
But it won't be easy against the Texans, who were an overtime field goal away from taking down the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. We knew coming into the season that last year's last-place team had a very real shot at a fast turnaround and Houston is living up to those expectations. J.J. Watt has been an absolute monster on the defensive front and the offense has benefited from the revitalization of Arian Foster, who is one of just two running backs averaging over 100 rushing yards per game (the other being DeMarco Murray). There are still questions at quarterback (Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 154 yards and a pick against Dallas), but the rest of the offensive skill positions give the Texans a shot to score on anybody.
