After ‘best practice of the season,’ Colts defense show major signs of improvement In a 19-17 win, the Colts held the Texans to just 223 yards of total offense. Sep 27, 2026 at 06:12 PM Abby Halpin Contributing Writer Copied! For the first two weeks of the season, the Colts defense ranked last in the league in yards and points allowed. In Sunday’s 19-17 win, the Colts allowed just 223 yards to the Houston Texans and paved the way for the first win of the season. “We knew coming into the week t...
Getty Images Conventional wisdom suggests the Houston Texans were among the biggest losers from Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season. When teams lose divisional games to drop to 0-3, there are generally not many redeeming factors to generate optimism for the rest of the year. But maybe the Texans have the league right where they want it. This team lost its first three games a season ago and managed to roll into the AFC divisional round, after all. Instead, a couple of offensive coordinators stand in ...
As Spencer Shrader went through his usual pre-game routine, he felt a “ding” in his groin after a kick. “Oh, that’s not good,” Shrader thought. He tried another kick and came to grips with reality: He wasn’t feeling great. Shrader went to the Colts’ training staff; those trainers immediately went to work to mitigate the tweak. Roughly four hours later, Shrader connected on a go-ahead 53-yard field goal with 16 seconds remaining, ultimately earning the Colts a 19-17 win over the Houston Texans....

MINNEAPOLIS — The Rangers’ 2026 season did not go out with a bang. It went out with a whimper. The Rangers fell, 6-4, to the Twins on Sunday afternoon at Target Field, squandering any chance to win the American League West on the final day of the regular season. The only way Texas could have won the division and gotten into the postseason was with a win over the Twins and an Astros loss to the A’s. Regardless of the Astros’ postseason outcome, they will go down as the worst division winner in ...

WEST SACRAMENTO — They were 20-31 in mid-May and struggling to put a competitive roster on the field, with as many as 16 players on the injured list at one time. Slowly but surely, the Astros got healthy and got better, working their way up the standings to take over first place in the American League West heading into August. If you’ve paid attention to the Astros over the last decade, you know never to count them out, especially in a division where no team finished with a winning record. Lik...
Imagn Images Sunday marked Game 162 of the Major League Baseball season, and now the regular season is over and the playoffs upon us. Game 162 these days is a unique occasion on the MLB calendar, in that, weather permitting, all games start at the same time or within minutes of each other. With postseason berths hanging in the balance and scoreboard-watching the norm, that adds a layer of intrigue to the proceedings. The 2026 edition of Game 162 was no exception. To get you up to speed on all ...
The Houston Texans emerged as an early 2026 NFL season disappointment. Houston is now a stunning 0-3 after falling to the Indianapolis Colts 19-17 Sunday. And head coach DeMeco Ryans is casting blame involving one blunder. Ryans didn’t manage his timeouts more effectively, particularly when he called a timeout with 29 seconds left. But the […] The post DeMeco Ryans blames himself for bizarre timeout usage in loss to Colts appeared first on ClutchPoints .

INDIANAPOLIS — Spencer Shrader fought through a groin injury to make four field goals, including a 43-yarder with 16 seconds to go, and the Indianapolis Colts’ beleaguered defence barely held up long enough to close out a 19-17 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Colts (1-2) snapped a nine-game losing streak, the longest active skid in the NFL, and won its first game since Nov. 2 at Berlin. It was the Colts’ first victory on American soil since Oct. 26, 2025. Daniel Jones was 24 of ...
