(SportsNetwork.
Rishard Matthews Womens Jersey .com) - The
top spot in the AFC South will be on the line when Houston native Andrew Luck
and the Indianapolis Colts shoot for their fourth straight win when they take on
the Texans at NRG Stadium. The two-time defending division champion Colts have
rebounded from a slow 0-2 start with three consecutive wins, including last
weekends 20-13 triumph over Baltimore. Indianapolis has also generally dominated
the Texans over the years, winning three consecutive games in the rivalry and
compiling a gaudy 20-4 overall record against Houston. Meanwhile, the Colts have
also excelled on short weeks, winning nine straight games when playing on
Thursday despite the lack of preparation time. Its annoying for players, Texans
star running back Arian Foster said this week when asked about playing on
Thursday. I dont know one player that likes it. I really dont know a fan that
likes it, either. I think its just the leagues way of trying to generate more
revenue. Nobody is ready to play physically after a Sunday game. But youve got
to go out there and do it. No team has figured out how to do it better than the
Colts, who are 11-1-1 in Thursday games. The only thing trending in Houstons
direction is the fact that the home team has won four of the first five Thursday
matchups in 2014. Last weekend Luck passed for a touchdown and ran for another
score against the Ravens, connecting on 32-of-49 passes for 312 yards, his
fourth 300-yard passing performance in five tries this season. The only negative
aspect of the ledger for Luck was two interceptions. Ahmad Bradshaw added 68
yards on the ground but his fumble inside two minutes left nearly cost the game
for the Colts. Its huge to survive our mistakes in a sense, said Luck. Its the
epitome of a team football game, of a defense lifting us up in a sense. We made
our plays enough to get a win obviously. The Texans, meanwhile, are coming off a
tough loss in Dallas, losing a Lone Star State matchup with the Cowboys in
overtime. Dan Bailey kicked the game-winning 49-yard field goal in the extra
frame to lift Dallas. The Texans had scored the last 10 points of regulation to
force OT, but punted on the opening possession of the extra session. The Cowboys
DeMarco Murray picked up 11 yards on a 3rd-and-1, and on an ensuing 3rd-and-8,
Tony Romo lofted a rainbow along the left sideline for Dez Bryant. Texans
cornerback Johnathan Joseph had tight coverage on Bryant, who ran a stop-and-go
route, but Bryant was able to reach over top of his helmet to make a spectacular
grab. It was the play of the game, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said. I dont
know if theres a better guy in the league that can make those kind of contested
catches than Dez Bryant. Bailey, who missed a 53-yard field goal on the final
play of regulation to snap his streak of 30 consecutive field goals, was able to
split the uprights this time from the left hash with 7:45 on the clock. Foster
carried the ball 23 times for 157 yards and two scores for the Texans (3-2), who
have dropped two of three since beginning the year 2-0. Our defense did a good
job of holding us in there, Texans head coach Bill OBrien said. We just didnt do
enough offensively. Ryan Fitzpatrick was 16-of-25 for 154 yards with an
interception, DeAndre Hopkins caught six passes for 63 yards and Andre Johnson
hauled in five balls for 58 yards in defeat. No loss feels good, but, like I
said, we have a quick turnaround, OBrien continued. Weve got to get better, and
weve got to get better fast because we havent played a division game yet and we
have a very big division game coming up on Thursday night in front of our home
fans. WHAT TO WATCH FOR Luck and the Colts have gotten fat over the past three
weeks thanks to a fortuitous turn in their schedule with two lightly-regarded
opponents -- Jacksonville and Tennessee -- followed by a home game against
Baltimore. That said you can only play who is put in front of you and
Indianapolis has handled its business, outscoring those three opponents by a
combined 105-47 margin or by an average of 35-16. The Colts defense, which
allowed 409.5 yards per game in the first two games of the season, has settled
down and surrendered only 297.3 per game since. The unit mustered just one sack
and one turnover in the first two and had generated 11 sacks and nine takeaways
during its three-game run with outside linebacker Bjoern Werner registering a
career-high two sacks last weekend. The good thing about the Colts is that were
very familiar with them, Texans tackle Duane Brown said. Of course you have a
different game plan than weve had in years past, but as far as the personnel and
things like that we kind of know what to expect. Of course, the real strength of
the Colts lies in their QB, Luck, who pilots an offense that is second overall
in the NFL with 439.6 YPG and tops in passing offense (321.8 YPG). Luck himself
leads the NFL with 1,617 passing yards and 14 touchdowns but the free thrower is
also tops in interceptions with six. With seven catches for 77 yards against the
Ravens, veteran Indy wide receiver Reggie Wayne (13,950) surpassed Hall of Famer
Cris Carter for the ninth-most receiving yards of all-time. Wayne needs 55 yards
against the Texans to surpass another Hall of Famer, James Lofton, for eighth
place. Wayne will also look to extend his streak of impressive performances
against AFC South opponents. Since divisional realignment in 2002, Wayne leads
all active players in receptions (376) and receiving yards (5,077) against his
own division. The impressive Houston defense is led by All-Pro defensive lineman
J.J. Watt, who has two sacks, three batdowns, an interception return for a TD,
and an NFL- high 16 QB hits through five outings, and leads the NFL with 12
takeaways. Safeties Kendrick Lewis and D.J. Swearinger both have three forced
fumbles, tied for the most in the NFL, and inside linebacker Brian Cushing leads
the unit with 45 tackles. Offensively the Texans will continue to rely on their
own veteran receiver, Johnson, who needs just 19 receiving yards to become the
15th player in NFL history to reach 13,000, as well as Foster, who leads the AFC
since 2010 with 5,210 rushing yards and 45 touchdowns, including 752 yards
(125.3 per game) and six touchdowns in six career matchups against Indianapolis.
OVERALL ANALYSIS History says the Colts are usually the better prepared team on
a short week and there is little reason to expect that to change this time
around. Indianapolis has never lost on NFL Networks Thursday Night Football,
posting a 7-0 record dating back to 2007 with six of those seven wins coming on
the road. You realize once the game starts, its football, said Luck. Theres no
use complaining or whining about anything. Its what you do. Sports Network
