Colts Clobber Texans To Get To Divisional Round

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — If you were to tell Indianapolis Colts fans the team would beat the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs following a 1-5 regular season start, most would probably laugh in your face. It's been the season to see if Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was as good as he once was after sitting out last season due to injury. Under new team leader, head coach Reich, Luck and the Colts defeated and eliminated the Houston Texans 21-7 at NRG stadium, and are headed to next weekend's Divisional Round of the playoffs.

The Colts held Houston 21-0 until the fourth quarter, when the Texans finally got on the board. But it wasn't enough for the Texans to come out on top.

The Colts will travel to Kansas City next Saturday, Jan. 12, to face the AFC's number 1 seed, the Kansas City Chiefs. The game will be televised by NBC starting at kickoff, 4:35 p.m.

Go Colts!
