Texans vs. Colts: How to watch, game time, TV schedule, streaming and more 

Come join us, won’t you, for what promises to be the dumbest game of the season!

Imagine if you will a team that has dominated the cellar of the NFL for 16 games; just week after week of stellar performances with a couple of minor blips in between where the Houston Texans, possibly by accident, won a couple of games.

Now imagine that same team but with one game left to go until they can claim what is rightfully theirs. But then you see another team going fast and the furious toward the first overall pick in the draft. And they are jettisoning any potential talent, either by keeping them off the field or having Justin Fields throw to them, to try and secure what is rightfully ours.

Now the Houston Texans don’t have to do a whole lot to get themselves in a position to lose, they’re plenty good at doing that on their own. But the really mean and spiteful part about all this is A) The Minnesota Vikings are shutting down for the regular season. They’re in the playoffs, they can’t improve their standing, as I understand it, so they are resting their players and they happen to be playing the only other team who could wind up with the top overall pick: the Chicago Bears, and B) The Indianapolis Colts are playing Sam Ehlinger at QB instead of Nick Foles or Matt Ryan or whatever other monosyllabic quarterback they’ve had under center this year. If you thought the Colts had any intention of winning this game, you can stop thinking that now that Texas Longhorns’ favorite son Sam Ehlinger is going to start.

That’s just mean. It’s like the Colts, with their last breath, are hellbent on making sure their Midwestern cousins get the pick instead of us. So we must gather ourselves one last time and root for the Texans to underperform a team that is already trying to underperform against the Texans.

Confused? Good. Don’t think too hard about it.
