The Houston Texans topped the Indianapolis Colts 26-15 in a crucial Week 11 matchup of the 2026 season. With playoff implications hanging in the balance, the Texans solidified their position in the standings with an impressive performance at home.
Baker Mayfield shone for Houston, throwing for 239 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to command the offense effectively. His connection with Carnell Tate was particularly noteworthy, as Tate amassed 87 receiving yards, contributing significantly to the Texans' scoring drives. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley led the Colts on the ground with 70 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough to overcome Houston's offensive firepower.
Defensively, the Texans made key plays to stifle the Colts, with Christian Gonzalez recording an interception that shifted momentum in the game. Houston's Caleb Banks added pressure with a sack, disrupting Indianapolis's rhythm and contributing to their inability to respond effectively on offense. The game turned decisively in the second half when the Texans' defense held strong, allowing them to maintain control and ultimately secure the victory.
