Colts head coach Shane Steichen details the good and bad from Sunday's 19-17 win over the Houston Texans. Steichen gives his flowers to defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, who had 1.5 sacks in Week 3, and how he's battled back from his neck injury in 2025. Finally, Steichen discusses the big day from special teams, and how critical kicker Spencer Shrader and punter-turned-kickoff-guy Rigoberto Sanchez were in the win.

Defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore and cornerback Sauce Gardner have both seen the improvements. Adebawore highlights getting to play alongside DeForest Buckner, and what he's learned from the three-time Pro Bowler so far. Gardner details the standard he holds himself to, and how he grows from moments that may not be up to that standard. After being traded midseason and missing a few games in 2025, Gardner believes he's gotten in a good groove and has settled into the Colts defense.
