AI RECAPIn a thrilling Week 10 matchup, the Indianapolis Colts outlasted the Houston Texans with a final score of 38-28, further solidifying their playoff aspirations. The victory was crucial for the Colts as they aim to maintain momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
Leading the charge for Indianapolis was quarterback Julian Sayin, who delivered a stellar performance with 298 passing yards and four touchdown passes.
