The Colts take on the Houston Texans in a “win-and-in" regular season finale on Saturday night. Matt Taylor, Bill Brooks and Casey Vallier discuss where both teams have evolved since their week two battle, why CJ Stroud is one of the best young quarterbacks in the game, and what the Colts defense must do to limit the Texans' big plays in the passing game. Voice of the Texans, Marc Vandermeer, joins the podcast on Behind Enemy Lines to give us an idea of how the Texans have made a quick turnaround under first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans.
