Overview
- The NFL scheduled Colts at Texans for Sunday, Jan. 4 on CBS, with the league and Colts listing a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
- The Houston Chronicle lists the start at noon, creating a conflict in published times that has not been reconciled in reporting.
- To protect competitive integrity, the NFL set a simultaneous kickoff for Jaguars–Titans and Colts–Texans.
- Houston can take the AFC South and the AFC’s No. 3 seed with a win and a Jacksonville loss to Tennessee.
- If both Houston and Jacksonville win, the Texans remain the No. 5 seed and would face the Baltimore–Pittsburgh winner on wild-card weekend.
