Texans vs. Colts score, highlights, news, inactives and live updates

No game in NFL Week 18 carries more clear consequences than the Houston Texans’ matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.

The winner makes the playoffs. The loser’s season is over.

Both teams’ record currently stand at 9-7, two thirds of a three-way tie atop the AFC South with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars can clinch the division with a win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, otherwise the winner of Texans-Colts will take the division as well.

The Texans enter the game as slight favorites, mostly thanks to the presence of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who currently rooms as the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite. The 2023 No. 2 overall pick has looked electric all season, but missed two games last month with a concussion.

The Colts were supposed to have their own rookie quarterback leading the way with No. 4 pick Anthony Richardson, but he’s been out since October. Gardner Minshew has led the team since then, with wins in six of their last eight games.

Live81 updates

  • Another angle of the Stroud-Collins TD.

  • Texans defense follows up the air mail TD with a three-and-out, which included a Christian Harris sack.

  • WOW WOW WOW.

    C.J. Stroud throws a 75-yard TD to Nico Collins on the Texans’ first offensive play of the game. This is no ordinary rookie.

    7-3 Texans.

  • Texans get the third down stop and the Colts act like they’re going for it, but it’s an offsides bait. Colts take a delay of game penalty, then Matt Gay kicks a 38-yard field goal.

    3-0 Indianapolis.

  • The Colts offense is zooming to open the game. They’re in the red zone after some very nice chunk plays from Gardner Minshew and Jonathan Taylor.

  • Texans win the coin toss and defer. Colts take a fair catch on the opening kickoff and we’re off.

  • And we’re back for Texans-Colts, a clash between two 9-7 AFC South teams that will serve as a true playoff eliminator. The winner makes the playoffs (and takes the division if the Jaguars lose tomorrow), while the loser’s season is over.

    It’s been a surprisingly strong season for both teams, but one of them is done tonight.

  • Even if they make it, this is very bad for the Steelers.

  • Again, the Steelers now need one of the following:

    • Bills loss

    • Jaguars loss/tie

    • Colts-Texans tie

    Their best shot among those will probably be the Jaguars, who play on the road against the Titans tomorrow. The Bills are favored against a banged up Dolphins team.

  • Steelers recover the kick and that will do it. Steelers win 17-10 in a sloppy, rain-soaked slugfest.

    Ravens will finish the season 13-4, the Steelers 10-7. Now they have about three games to watch to see if their season will continue.

  • Justin Tucker makes his 29th straight field goal against the Steelers, this time from 36 yards.

    17-10 Steelers. We’ll now head to the onside kick with 16 seconds remaining.

  • Huntley sacked at 3rd and 5. That should just about do it, though the Ravens are now going for a field goal, which the Steelers ice. 19 seconds remaining.

  • Worth noting the Ravens have no timeouts left. They’ve been getting tackled in-bounds a lot.

  • Huntley scrambles to convert a 4th and 1 at the two-minute warning. Ravens have it at the Pittsburgh 36 and still need a lot of things to go their way.

  • Ravens are moving the ball, at least.
