Three months ago, the Colts and Texans were both 1-3. Now, days into the new year, they've combined to go 19-5. But Indianapolis and Houston have taken different paths to this point; both teams feature very good defenses but Indy's offense is built on balance and protecting Andrew Luck while Houston has taken more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach to matriculating the ball down the field.
Put another way: Luck, who was sacked 41 times in 2016 (he missed 2017 with an injury), has gone down just 18 times this season. He was sacked twice in the last three regular-season games and enjoyed a five-game stretch in Weeks 6-11 where he wasn't sacked at all. Deshaun Watson, meanwhile, has endured a whopping 62 sacks this season. SIXTY-TWO! By comparison, he went down 16 times in the last three games, and oh-by-the-way, in the two previous matchups with the Colts, Watson was sacked 12 times.
The Colts are enjoying a 21-0 lead at halftime over the Texans.
