In a decisive Week 3 matchup, the Houston Texans topped the Indianapolis Colts with a final score of 35-14, solidifying their place as a contender in the 2026 season. The victory was crucial for the Texans, who aimed to maintain their momentum early in the campaign. C.J. Stroud was the standout performer for Houston, throwing for 256 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating both precision and poise throughout the game. He connected effectively with tight end Dalton Schultz, who racked up 128 receiving yards, making key plays that kept drives alive. Despite the Colts' Jonathan Taylor rushing for 160 yards, it wasn’t enough to keep pace with the Texans' offensive firepower. The Texans' defense played a pivotal role in the outcome, led by Will Anderson Jr., who recorded three sacks, disrupting the Colts' offensive rhythm. Kamari Lassiter also made an impact with an interception that shifted momentum back to Houston at a critical juncture. The combination of defensive pressure and timely turnovers proved too much for the Colts to overcome, sealing the Texans' convincing victory.
