The Indianapolis Colts (2-2) will hit the road to take on the Houston Texans (1-3) tonight at 8:25 PM ET.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who missed last week's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a shoulder injury, is expected to return tomorrow. A popular preseason MVP pick, Luck has gotten off to a rough start this season. Granted, his offensive line hasn't done him any favors. Indy quarterbacks have been hit the most (68) out of any team in the league, though they've only been sacked eight total times.
Overall, Luck is completing just 56 percent of his passes and has thrown for 753 yards with five touchdowns against seven interceptions. Lucky for them, the AFC South is one of the weaker divisions in football this year so their path to the postseason remains relatively clear.
The Texans, on the other hand, don't have such a saving grace. The hope was that entering head coach Bill O'Brien's second season, the team's potentially dominant defensive line and running game would be able to mask any deficiencies under quarterback. Unfortunately, a preseason injury to running back Arian Foster and a slow return for 2014 No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney has derailed those plans.
The quick shuffle between quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallet hasn't helped matters either. Though the Texans rank seventh in yards per game (384.2), they've struggled to punch it in, averaging just 19.2 points per week. Add that to their sixth-ranked scoring defense (27) and you've got the recipe for a losing record. However, J.J. Watt could wreak havoc on Indianapolis' overmatch OL.
