INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Houston Texans spent all decade dreaming of this opportunity.
All they really wanted was a chance to establish themselves as a playoff contender and finally take down their old nemesis, the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts.
Houston is 5-3 and on a 3-game winning streak. The Texans could be the only AFC South team capable of challenging Indy for division superiority.
Houston quarterback Matt Schaub says -- it's exciting.
Schaub goes into tomorrow's game with more TD passes (16) than 3-time MVP Peyton Manning (15), and with a receiver, Andre Johnson, who has more yards (697) than Indy's Reggie Wayne (689), who is second in the NFL.
Indy has won 5 of the last six AFC South titles and is off to another 7-0 start. Another victory would make the Colts the fourth team in league history with 17 straight regular-season wins.
