In a dominant display, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Houston Texans 58-16 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. The Colts showcased their offensive firepower, solidifying their early-season momentum with this impressive victory. Leading the charge for Indianapolis was quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., who tossed two touchdown passes, while running back Jonathan Taylor shined with 111 rushing yards. The Texans' J.J. McCarthy put up decent numbers with 223 passing yards and Marvin Harrison Jr. made a strong receiving effort with 135 yards, but it was not enough to keep pace with the Colts' explosive offense. Defensively, the Colts were relentless, with CJ Allen recording six tackles, Dwight Freeney contributing two sacks, and Lewis Cine snagging two interceptions. The turning point came early in the second quarter when Cine's second interception set up a quick touchdown drive, allowing Indianapolis to pull away and maintain control for the remainder of the game.
