This win-and-win matchup between two AFC South rivals is underway as the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans have taken the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. The winner of this matchup is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs and possibly the division crown, depending on what happens with the Jacksonville Jaguars tomorrow.
Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor will be on the same field together for the first time since Week 12, which will give Indy a boost on offense. In their last game together, the two backs combined for 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The Colts have a 6-2 record in their last eight games after starting the year 3-5 and are looking to keep their season alive.
As for the Texans, likely Offensive Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud is looking to become the third quarterback drafted in the top two to start a playoff game since at least 1967. With a win tonight, Houston could also become the fifth playoff team to ever have a rookie quarterback and first-year head coach.
