An action-packed opening two quarters saw Houston lead 20-10 at half-time, Andre Johnson and Bryan Braman scoring touchdowns for the Texans, while T.Y. Hilton caught a touchdown pass from Andrew Luck for the Colts.

Arian Foster continued his good form this season, rushing for 165 yards off 27 carries.

J.J. Watt caught up with the NFL's sack leader Aldon Smith, downing Luck three times to prevent the Colts getting back in to the game.

The loss means the Colts can no longer catch the AFC's top-ranked side to win their division, and will have to wait another week to seal a wildcard spot.
