HOUSTON — The Houston Texans host the Indianapolis Colts during Week 8 of the NFL season.

The AFC South-leading Houston Texans look to bounce back against the second-place Indianapolis Colts, winners of two straight, when they meet for the second time this season. 

Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud will attempt to get back on track after throwing for a career-low 86 yards without a TD pass in last week's loss to Green Bay. 

The Texans should rely heavily on Joe Mixon after he ran for a season-high 159 yards in Houston's Week 1 win.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Keep it here all game long for live updates as they happen.
