Houston's depth shines in a clutch win, setting the stage for a high-stakes Wild Card showdown against Pittsburgh. Preview the playoff battle now.
On Garret’s latest Texans show, the focus is two-part: a quick but meaningful recap of Houston’s win over the Colts, then a full shift into playoff mode with a Wild Card trip to Pittsburgh coming on Monday Night Football.
Colts win recap: backups stepped up, and that matters
Garret frames the Colts win as the type of regular-season closer good teams find a way to win. With multiple backups forced into real roles, the Texans still handled business, closed the season strong, and locked up the 5th seed. The bigger takeaway isn’t just the result, it’s what the game revealed about Houston’s depth, resilience, and roster construction — the ability to survive chaos, stay composed, and still get the job done heading into January.
Why that win carries into the playoffs
Garret emphasizes that “winning that type of game” matters because it builds confidence in the full roster, not just the stars. When a team can absorb injuries, lean on depth, and keep the standard intact, it travels — and it becomes part of the identity once the postseason tightens everything up.
