The Indianapolis Colts topped the Houston Texans 28-11 in a decisive Week 11 matchup that solidified their playoff aspirations. With both teams vying for critical positioning in the standings, the Colts delivered a strong performance to secure their victory on the road. Jonathan Taylor was the star of the game, racking up an impressive 172 rushing yards, consistently breaking through the Texans’ defense. On the flip side, C.J. Stroud led Houston's aerial attack with 221 passing yards, but he struggled to connect in the red zone, managing only one touchdown pass from Will Levis. Eli Stowers provided a reliable target with 81 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback. Defensively, the Colts exerted significant pressure, with Laiatu Latu recording a sack that disrupted Houston's rhythm. A.J. Haulcy led the tackle count with four total tackles, helping to stifle any momentum the Texans hoped to build. The game's turning point came when the Colts forced a turnover late in the second quarter, leading to a quick touchdown that widened their lead and shifted the game's momentum firmly in their favor.
