There were some changes to the AFC South standings as Week 12 of the regular season came and went. It included some separation at the top of the division.
With five games remaining in the season, here’s how the AFC South standings look entering Week 13:
1. Houston Texans (7-4)
Coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Ravens, the Texans returned home to host the Colts in a primetime matchup. With some big plays to DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, the Texans offense outlasted a putrid passing performance from the Colts, who had just 121 passing yards as a team.
In Week 13, the Texans have a crucial matchup against the New England Patriots (10-1) at NRG Stadium.
2. Indianapolis Colts (6-5)
They held first place in the division for three days before going on the road and losing a crucial battle against the Texans. The rushing attack was stout (175 yards) and while the defense allowed some explosive plays, the unit still held the Texans to 20 points—a completely winnable game.
The Colts return home hosting the Titans in Week 13 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
3. Tennessee Titans (6-5)
Thanks to another huge rushing performance from Derrick Henry (19-159-2) and a solid outing from Ryan Tannehill, the Titans beat the Jaguars 42-20 for their fourth win in five games, which is exactly when Tannehill took over under center. They are tied with the Colts record-wise but their Week 2 loss to Indy gives the latter the tiebreaker.
The Titans are on the road against the Colts in Week 13.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7)
It hasn’t been a great return for Nick Foles as the Jaguars are 0-2 since he came back. The defense has allowed 37.5 points per game since coming out of the bye week. Leonard Founette added two touchdowns to continue his strong campaign, but the Jaguars are falling out of the playoff race quickly.
The Jaguars are at home in Week 13 to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7) at TIAA Bank Field.
