Watson also finished with 38 rushing yards on 7 carries – RB Buddy Howell led the Texans with 42 rushing yards on 11 carries. Houston has lost two in a row and three of five.
The Colts claimed a 44-27 road win at the Las Vegas Raiders as 2.5-point favorites in Week 14. Indianapolis scored on 7 of its first 8 drives with the 9th and final possession ending in victory formation – helping the Over of 52 to easily cash.
