How to watch the Colts play the Texans on Week 8, with or without cable

The Indianapolis Colts have won their last two games in a row, most recently in a narrow victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Yet the Colts have a gauntlet ahead of them over the next three weeks, which includes the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football, and the Buffalo Bills. Both teams expected to make the playoffs -- if not the Super Bowl.

But first, the Colts have to take on the Houston Texans in a divisional match-up that could upset the entire narrative surrounding the AFC South. Since Week 1, the assumption has been that the Texans will win the AFC South, and the only contest is that of who might make it in the playoffs as a wild-card.

Yet the struggles of the Colts are more well-known, the Texans haven't had an easy time of it themselves. The Texans are coming off a hard loss to the Green Bay Packers, and quarterback CJ Stroud has not played nearly as well without wide receiver Nico Collins. The Colts, meanwhile, could potentially have two of their biggest stars on both sides of the ball -- DeForest Buckner and Jonathan Taylor -- back in time for Sunday. It would give the Colts a huge boost, and potentially give them a more competitive edge in a game that is not only a tough match for each team, but extremely important.

Here's how to watch the Colts play the Texans on Sunday.
