The Houston Texans haven't won a matchup against the Indianapolis Colts since Nov. 21 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought on Sunday. They will face off at 1 p.m. ET Sept. 11 at NRG Stadium to kick off their 2022 seasons. Returning after a rocky 4-13 year, the Texans are aiming to prove that the past does not define them. Meanwhile, Indianapolis was on the positive side of .500 (9-8) last season and is hoping to kick off an even more successful year.
A pair of last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Houston was worst when it came to yards per game last season, with the team coming up with only 278.1 on average. The Colts' offense has more to brag about, as they they were second best in rushing yards per game, finishing the 2021 season with 149.4 on average.
Since the experts predict a loss, Houston will need to dig deep. Perhaps they'll be able to flip the script and come out with a big victory.
