Announcers set for Indianapolis Colts Week 8 matchup vs Texans

The announcers are set for what will be a big AFC South matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans.

Although it’s only Week 8, this game comes with some mid-season playoff implications. For more on that, click here.

Kickoff will be at 1:00 PM ET at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

The game will be televised on CBS with Andrew Catalon providing the play-by-play, Tiki Barber the analysis, and AJ Ross on the sidelines.

This will already be the second and final time that these two teams meet this season.

In Week 1, Houston won the first matchup 29-27 behind a 159-yard rushing performance from Joe Mixon. In total, the Texans rushed for 213 yards in this game.

CJ Stroud was efficient passing the ball, completing 24-of-32 throws for 234 yards with two touchdowns. Wide receiver Nico Collins–who is on injured reserve–hauling in 117 of those passing yards.

On the other side of the ball, Jonathan Taylor struggled to get anything going in the run game.

The passing game, meanwhile, was very boom-or-bust–as has been the case often this season–with Anthony Richardson either hitting on some downfield throws or struggling to move the ball on the short to intermediate attempts.

Giving the Colts a potential boost this week could be the returns of Taylor and DeForest Buckner. On Monday, head coach Shane Steichen said he was “optimistic” that both could possibly practice this week.
