How “sweep” it is!

The Houston Texans took down the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday for the second time this year, this time at NRG Stadium to grasp hold of a firm lead in the AFC - South.

The Texans were led by its defense after they got after 2nd year QB, Anthony Richardson who they sacked 5 times and forced him to only complete 31% of his passes all afternoon.

Offensively, it was the Joe Mixon show again. For the third time this season he ran for over 100 yards along with at least 1 touchdown. The Texans RB1 has been a welcomed addition to the team and has provided a certain swagger both on and off the field for the boys on Kirby.

That was the good, the bad, the Texans await the news on star wide receiver Stefon Diggs after he exited the game with a non-contact knee injury. Already down Nico Collins at least through the next week against the Jets, the Texans will have to rely on players like Tank Dell, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson to step up in their absences.

Looking ahead, the Texans will be in the primetime spotlight for the next three games. That starts on Thursday against the Jets, then back at home to take on the Lions on Sunday Night Football, then a Monday night, Texas showdown against the Cowboys.
