Sunday Night Football will see the Indianapolis Colts go on the road to face the Houston Texans tonight in what should be an intriguing match up from the Reliant Stadium in Houston.

Sunday Night Football between the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texas will start at 8.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on the NBC network. A live stream is also available on the Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket via the link provided below.

The Texans have the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL so far this season, but despite that they hold a record of just 2-5. A large reason for that is the inefficiency of their offense, which is ranking poorly in 30th place in the NFL with just 17.4 points scored per game.

Today's challenge for the Texans will pit them against AFC South division leaders, the Indianapolis Colts, who come into this game on 5-2. That makes this game all the more important for the Texans, as they could move to within two games of the Colts with a win today.

In pre-game reports, Case Keenum seems to have gotten the nod to make his second career start in the NFL. He will be tasked with the job of getting in Colts' quarterback Andrew Luck's face and stopping him playing with any kind of freedom.

The Colts come into this game having had a Bye Week last week. The last time they played they handed out a first defeat of the season to the Denver Broncos, and their former star Peyton Manning.

The Texans have fallen just short a few times this season, most recently they suffered a frustrating close loss to the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs, and they will want to get back to winning ways today before their season loses all hope.
