Ted Ginn and family tried to screw it up for the Texans late with a worse-than-Nate-Washington drop, but the Panthers pulled it off in overtime to beat the Colts. As such, both the Texans and Colts are 3-5 with the Colts facing the Broncos next week while the Texans have a bye. So, entirely possible the Texans have the division lead in six more days.
The Bengals game against the Cardinals the week after facing Houston has just been flexed to Sunday Night. This means the Bengals have primetime games on either side of their match with the Texans (Thurs vs Cleveland, Sunday vs Houston, Sunday Night @ Arizona). The Bengals have laid some duds during night games, so maybe their game with the Texans becomes something of a trap game for them. Here's hoping, at least.
