Colts vs. Texans Preview: Two 0-2 Teams, One HUGE Early AFC South Game nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1kJzDPNLL…

The 2026 Colts defense is historically bad through 2 weeks. They've allowed the second most yards through 2 games in NFL HISTORY 😶

CJ Stroud has a chance on Sunday to continue his great track record vs the Colts.

Per Aaron Wilson livestream tonight Nico Collins in 2025 had his own WR trainer that he was getting work with and the organization didn’t like the fact that he wasn’t training in house. 2026 he’s back with the Texans trainers and his hamstring suffers the same fate as it did in 2024 when he was with the provided trainers.

I get Reed Blankenship had a couple of rough plays but just give him some time to adjust to the system. I thought he played well in Philly and thats why Houston signed him in free agency give it time he’ll turn it around.

Make it make sense

Reminder a lot of these advanced stats and charting can be very subjective and not always accurate

Last time the Colts and Texans squared off was Week 18 in the 2025 season with the Texans winning 38-30: ♦️CJ Stroud: 14/23 169 yds 1 TD, 1 RTD ♦️Davis Mills: 3/9 36 yds ♦️British Brooks: 13 car 63 yds ♦️Woody Marks: 10 car 48 yds ♦️Alijah Huzzie int, Henry To’oTo’o 1 fumble recovery & Tommy Togiai 1 fumble return for TD as time expired 🔹Riley Leonard: 21/34 270 yds 2TD, 1 INT 1 RTD 2 fumbles lost 🔹Alec Pierce: 4 rec 132 yds 2 tds

Houston's run game lives and dies by scheme: Zone (19) 📉 1.3 YPC (NFL-low by a yard) 15.8% success rate (NFL-low) 63.2% hit behind LOS (3rd-highest) Gap (17 ) 📈 4.0 YPC 41.2% success rate 35.3% hit behind LOS Data: @NextGenStats On power runs, who's pulling matters 👇

No Nico, Clowney & Ingram again. Trent Brown questionable

Pierce, Dulin out & Ward questionable for Colts vs Texans

This should be a game where the defense asserts itself, especially without Alec Pierce. Thought they played really well vs CIN but were hindered by terrible field position & offense not scoring on other end. This should be a multiple turnover game for them.

It is now officially Colts week. #neigh

Good matchup for the Texans offense. Get the run game going out of 12/13 personnel and hit some deep PA shots.

Load the box, stop the run & make Daniel Jones beat you with his arm.

the Texans ranked 1st in defensive holding and 2nd in illegal contact penalties drawn in 2025 top 10 in automatic first downs via penalty, and still one of the best at it in 2026 Sunday's ref for Texans at Colts: Ron Torbert, whose crew has handed out big yardage on DPI this season sharpfootballanalysis.com/be…

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see the Texans go on a run through this middle stretch of the schedule. Honestly, I almost expect them to. The bummer about the 0-2 start is even if they do, I’m not sure I’ll fully buy back into them as a legitimate contender beyond just winning a Wild Card game. Maybe that hesitation is for the better 😅 In the back of my mind, I’m still going to wonder what happens when they run into another stout interior DL in January. Obviously a lot can change between now and then. Players can improve, schemes can adjust, personnel can change and coaches can find better answers. But until I see those answers, that concern is probably sticking with me regardless of what the record says
