NFL Highlights: Colts 28 – Texans 16

INDIANAPOLIS – Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts made sure that Chuck Pagano’s return to the sidelines was a winning one as they downed the Houston Texans 28-16 — and might’ve forced their AFC South rivals into playing a home playoff game during Wild Card weekend.

Luck threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns as the Colts were already assured of the #5 seed in the AFC playoffs. They will play at Baltimore next weekend.

The Texans, meanwhile, would’ve secured a first-round bye with a win. Instead, they now need either Denver or New England to lose in the late games to avoid playing next weekend.

Tom McCarthy and Tony Boselli called the action on Westwood One Sports.
