Colts face crucial game against Texans after 0-2 start

The Indianapolis Colts are seeking their first win of the season against the Houston Texans in Week 3 after starting 0-2. ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell ranks the Colts as the third best among eight teams struggling from similar records, citing a favorable upcoming schedule and the slow start of the AFC South. However, the Colts have faced challenges, including poor performance on defense, allowing over 12 yards per throw, and issues with their passing game exacerbated by injuries. The outcome of this game is critical, as only 3.9% of teams since 2002 have made the playoffs after starting 0-2.
