Texans hoping to challenge Colts in AFC South (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 Indianapolis Colts. On Sunday, they could do both.

Texans Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
After a horrific start in the first three games, the Texans’ defense has been outstanding.
Fans were ready to run first-year defensive coordinator Frank Bush out of town after a 1-2 start. They allowed 28.7 points a game and 437.7 yards, including 205 against the run. They were on a pace to allow more yards and more yards rushing than any defense in history.
Bush, who had been promoted from senior defensive assistant after Richard Smith was fired, appeared to be in over his head. Coach Gary Kubiak was accused of promoting Bush because they worked together in Denver.
Kubiak and Bush didn’t panic. They explained that the awful defense was the cause of four long touchdowns and not a problem with the scheme.

But the road gets tougher as they face undefeated AFC South rival Indianapolis, a team they've beaten only once. Ever.
