Spencer Shrader fought through a groin injury to make four field goals, including a 43-yarder with 16 seconds to go, and the Indianapolis Colts' beleaguered defense barely held up long enough to close out a 19-17 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. The Colts (1-2) snapped a nine-game losing streak, the longest active skid in the NFL, and won its first game since Nov. 2 at Berlin. It was the Colts' first victory on American soil since Oct. 26, 2025.
