The Colts' Week 18 game against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium will kick off at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 4, the NFL announced today. The game will be televised on CBS.
All Week 18 games were previously listed as TBD.
The Colts were eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday with the Texans' win over the Los Angeles Chargers, prior to their Week 17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. However, their Week 18 game carries major implications for the Texans (11-5), who would become AFC South champions with a win over the Colts and a Jaguars (12-4) loss to the Tennessee Titans. Because of those stakes, the NFL opted to have both the Colts-Texans and Jaguars-Titans game kick off at the same time.
