Colts vs. Texans live stream: Watch 2019 NFL Playoffs online

The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans meet for the third time this season, this time in the Wild Card Round of the 2019 NFL Playoffs.

The Houston Texans started off the 2018 regular season with an 0-3 record and, despite having a healthy roster, everyone began writing them off. That was the wrong course of action, however, as they went on to win their next nine games and 11 of their final 13. Now they enter the 2019 NFL Playoffs as the AFC’s No. 3 seed and welcome the rival Indianapolis Colts to town for the Wild Card Round.

Deshaun Watson and JJ Watt’s returns for the Texans have no doubt galvanized them this season. On offense, despite a shaky and sometimes abysmal line, Watson and Co. have been fantastic and have schemed big plays to Deandre Hopkins and more. Meanwhile, Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, Tyrann Mathieu and the defense have been lights out more often than not this season.

As for the Colts, they are one of this season’s biggest surprises. Indianapolis was worried about Andrew Luck and his health for recent years, but he finally returned has been terrific. However, Indy has gotten the two biggest booms from a vastly improved offensive line and a defense, both of which are bolstered by big-time rookies: Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard, respectively.

These two teams split their AFC South meetings in the regular season, which provides hope for the postseason matchup. This should be a fun opening to Wild Card Weekend.

The last time these two teams met, the Colts ended a long winning streak for the Texans. They would certainly love to see the same result on Saturday afternoon, which would put Indianapolis into the Divisional Round and set them on course for a playoff matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. On the road in Houston, though, it’ll be a tall task to win.
