The Colts face a battered and beaten Texans team in Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. Neither team has a winning record coming into this one, and both will have high draft picks come April. Both teams are playing backup quarterbacks, and in Houston’s case, a third string QB.
The news from the Houston Chronicle that Deandre Hopkins will not play will help the Colts in the secondary. He is by far the most dangerous weapon that the Texans have, and third-string quarterback T.J. Yates will need all the help he can get.
Meanwhile on the Colts offense, Jacoby Brissett needs to get off to a strong start.
