INDIANAPOLIS — Philip Rivers found Zach Pascal for a tiebreaking TD pass with 1:47 left and the Colts defense recovered a fumble in the end zone with 19 seconds remaining to seal a 27-20 victory over Houston.

It was almost the exact same scenario that played out when these teams met two weeks ago.

Indy jumped on a bad snap to Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson to win that one.

Indy has now won three straight overall and remains atop the AFC South.

Houston has lost three in a row.
