Texans snap count notes from 20-16 Week 13 AFC South win over Colts

Make that four in a row.

With a fourth-quarter touchdown from Nico Collins, the Houston Texans secured a 20-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts and remain one game back in the division race for first place. Sitting with a 7-5 record, Houston very well enters the conversation for the AFC Playoffs, including the wild-card race.

Nick Chubb scored the game-tying touchdown in the second quarter after Collins set up Houston inside the 4-yard line. The Pro Bowl receiver finished with five catches for 98 yards, including two catches for 30 yards.

The Texans' defense once again stepped up big, sealing a win by forcing a turnover on downs with 1:45 to play after Daniel Jones had taken Indy to Houston's 31-yard line. Jones, who had been dealing with a leg injury throughout the week, finished with 201 yards and two touchdowns.

Houston's ability to contain Jonathan Taylor was the deal-breaker for any chance of a Colts' comeback. After struggling to move the ball last week in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor was held to 85 yards on 21 carries and failed to score.

"I just think it's super dope that we're able to encourage one another – good play, bad play, and then move on. And see guys still make plays after things happen. I'm just super proud of these guys," Stroud said postgame. "Got to just keep it rolling.”

Here's a look at the Texans' team snap count from Sunday's win at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Texans, who now sit at 7-5 and a game-and-a-half back in the AFC South, hit the road once more to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. With a win, the Texans will either be tied with the Colts or the Jacksonville Jaguars, depending on the loss of the AFC South matchup.
