The Colts sit one game ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars and two games ahead of the Texans, but that lead could evaporate into thin air with a home loss on Sunday afternoon. With that being said, let's jump into the first matchup to watch for.

The Indianapolis Colts are hosting the Houston Texans on Nov. 30, 2025, in NFL Week 13 action. Will the Lucas Oil Stadium roof be open?

The Houston Texans, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, face the Indianapolis Colts, led by quarterback Daniel Jones, on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

At 8-3 on the season, the Colts are the three seed in the AFC, trailing the 10-2 New England Patriots and the 9-2 Denver Broncos. Indianapolis also leads the AFC South -- although its lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars is down to just one game, and Houston is only two games back.

The Colts bolstered their defensive tackle depth by making an addition to their Week 13 roster ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Texans.

One Colts player was mentioned among the NFL's "most important" players over the final six games of the season.

The Indianapolis Colts have one of the deadliest offensive weapons in Jonathan Taylor, but his MVP case is shrinking.

However, despite remaining competitive throughout the contest, the Chiefs fell to Dallas 31-28, dropping back to .500 at 6-6 and remaining outside the AFC playoff picture. The loss led to a painfully honest admission from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes about where Kansas City currently stands.
