The Indianapolis Colts will host the Houston Texans on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, kicking off at 1 p.m. local time at Lucas Oil Stadium. Former Colts head coach Chuck Pagano previewed the matchup, saying both teams are looking for their first win and stressing the need for better run defense and more consistent pressure on the quarterback.

Pagano pointed out that the Colts defense allowed over 1,000 combined yards in losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs and noted Indianapolis has lost its last five divisional games to Houston. He emphasized the importance of affecting Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and tightening run defense for the home matchup.
