Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Houston Texans did a lot more than just snap the Indianapolis Colts' 13-game home winning streak against the Texans.

The 6-8 Colts now find themselves a game behind the Texans and in need of serious help if they hope to win the AFC South.

Via the Colts' official website, Indianapolis needs Houston to lose its final two games, while the Colts need to win out.

Should both teams finish 8-8, the tiebreakers currently favor Houston, meaning the Colts would miss out.

Indianapolis closes out the season with games against the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans, while the Texans finish with games against the Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars.
