The Houston Texans are hosting the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9's Sunday Night Football meeting. They will hook up for an interdivisional meeting that will affect the standings directly.
The Texans are 2-5 as they have yet to figure out how to put it together. Their defense is one of the best, specifically their pass protection. They are allowing the fewest total yards and passing yards in the NFL, but their defense is allowing close to 28 points and 122 yards per game, which is 27th in the league.

The Colts will not overwhelm their opponents, but they do certain things bettter than the other. For example, they can score points, averaging 27 points per game and rushing 129 yards on the ground. Andrew Luck has only thrown 1,574 yards in the first seven games of the Colts' season, but along wiht his 10 touchdowns, he has only thrown three interceptions this season.
Helping out the Colts' offense is their fantastic defense. Though they give up 350 yards per game, they are. allowing less than 19 points per game. They might let teams get all the yardage they want, but when the game is only the line, they are keeping their opponents outside of the end zone.
The Texans last won a game in Week 2. They will be looking to snap a five-game losing streak that has seen them lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams, San Francsico 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens. Texans fans are fed up and they want their team to win the way it was expected them to do so at the start of the season.
Will the Texans stick to Matt Schaub throughout the game? Will Schaub figure it out tonight and beat their divisional rivals? It is a must-watch game as this game could possibly change the fate of the Texans' season.
