The AFC South has been surprisingly competitive this season, but that has more to do with three of the four teams being mediocre in general. The fourth team is the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they’re a lot worse than mediocre. But the rest of the division is sitting at 6-6 going into Week 14.

Whoever wins between the Texans and Colts on Sunday would have a good chance of winning the AFC South.
Which means the division is up for grabs.
Potentially the most pivotal matchup remaining is set for Sunday, when the Houston Texans will travel to take on the Indianapolis Colts. Sunday’s game is at 1 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on CBS. A live stream will be available online via a Sunday Ticket Online subscription and CBS All-Access.
The Texans held a firm two-game lead in the AFC South the last time they played — and beat — the Colts. They owned wins over the important divisional rivals but since then have lost four of six games. Their last three losses in a row include a 21-13 defeat to the San Diego Chargers and, most recently, the Green Bay Packers.
Indianapolis, on the other hand, has won four of six games since that loss to the Texans. That includes a win over the Tennessee Titans, the other 6-6 team in the division. Indianapolis has a pair of tough games against the Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders after they play the Texans but will finish the season against the Jaguars.
The Texans will play the Titans and Cincinnati Bengals but also have the Jaguars on their remaining schedule. In other words, the Jaguars could be an important factor in deciding the division if they manage to steal a win or two.
But for now, a whole lot is on the line on Sunday. For the Texans, they found some early season success on the back of a strong defense while the offense struggled. Now both sides of the ball are falling apart, and key defensive players like Johnathan Joseph, John Simon and Jadeveon Clowney missed time in recent weeks.
The Colts have dealt with their own injuries but seem healthier now than they have been in weeks. They look better than the team that lost a 14-point lead to the Texans the last time they played.
Andrew Luck has been much better this season than he was a year ago. Luck dealt with injuries and struggled with turnovers last season, but he has completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,105 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also has nearly 300 yards rushing and a touchdown on the ground.
Brock Osweiler has been decidedly worse this season. He’s completed 260 of 435 passes (59.8 percent) for 2,509 yards with 14 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. The Texans gave him a huge contract extension this season, and he’s been nothing more than mediocre since taking over the starting job.
Below is all the information you need to watch Sunday’s game.
