NFL Week 14, 2018: Best games to watch on Sunday
By Dan Parzych
4. Texans vs. Colts
Looking back to the first month of the regular season, it wasn’t until Week 4 when the Houston Texans finally earned their first win of 2018 by defeating the Indianapolis Colts. Since then, the Texans have gone on to win each of their last nine games to enter the conversation of being one of the hottest teams in the NFL.
Coincidentally, up until last week before their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts were viewed as one of the hottest teams as well by winning five games in a row after losing five of their first six games to start the year. And while it seems like only a matter of time before the Texans officially clinch the AFC South title when looking at their comfortable lead, the Colts can’t afford to lose a game like this one.
To put even more pressure on Indianapolis, it should be noted the Tennessee Titans already won on Thursday after taking down the Jacksonville Jaguars with ease, meaning a loss for the Colts would result in them falling behind even more in the AFC playoff race. This time of year always brings out the best in rivalries battling for playoff spots, and one can only imagine how exciting this AFC South battle is going to turn out to be.
