The Indianapolis Colts are AFC South champions after a 17-10 win over the Houston Texans, and while it wasn't the prettiest of performances, all that matters to the team is that it's going to the playoffs for the third straight year.
Much like the past few weeks, the Colts got off to a slow start, with Andrew Luck throwing an early interception to Kendrick Lewis for a defensive touchdown to put his team in an early 7-0 hole. However, the Colts were able to get back on top after a pair of touchdown passes to Hakeem Nicks and Dwayne Allen, helping them take a 14-7 lead into halftime.
The second half was a boring one for those who like offense. The two teams traded punts throughout the third quarter, with neither scoring. It certainly didn't help that rookie Tom Savage had to take over at quarterback for the Texans in the second quarter after Ryan Fitzpatrick went down, as he could do little against the Colts defense.
The Texans were able to make things interesting in the fourth quarter with a 53-yard field goal to pull to within 14-10, but a late five-minute drive that ended with an Adam Vinatieri field goal put the pressure on Savage to lead Houston on a two-minute drill. The rookie QB couldn't do it, however, with Vontae Davis sealing the win with a fourth-down interception.
Neither team was able to do much offensively, with both sides putting up less than 290 total yards and combining for four turnovers. But the Colts will be happy to come away as division champions, so let's take a look at the complete unit grades from the Week 15 win.
