The Houston Texans have already clinched a playoff spot, and can also lock up the AFC South with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. Such a result would leave the winner of the Colts and Titans fighting for a wild-card spot.
A loss to Jacksonville would drop Houston into a wild-card position, with the winner of Colts-Titans then taking home the division crown. A tie between Indianapolis and Tennessee would lock up the division for the Texans regardless of their result. The Colts would take the wild-card spot in the event of a tie, as they'd hold the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage over the Titans due to a win in their first matchup this season.
Andrew Luck threw three touchdowns in that Week 11 contest, leading the Colts to a 38-10 victory in Indianapolis.
The clash will mark only the second time this year that Indianapolis has been featured in a prime-time game, with the only prior appearance being on Thursday Night Football early in the season.
