Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler knows just how important Sunday’s game against the Colts is, with the two teams at 6-6 and part of a three-way tie atop the AFC South.
“This game Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis, this is the biggest game of our season,” Osweiler said. “I’m viewing our season right now as a one-game season and it’s a one game that we must win. I think our entire football team understands that. There’s great urgency in this building right now and it reflected at today’s practice. No doubt about it, we understand as a team how important Sunday is and you can expect our best effort come Sunday.”
Osweiler stands by his claim that the Texans’ offense is close to exploding, although he acknowledges he has to get better.
“I always believe that I can play better,” he said. “I’m striving for perfection every single week and so there’s nobody that’s ever going to judge themselves harder than my own self.”
If Osweiler can’t help the Texans win on Sunday, plenty of people will be judging him harshly. The AFC South is ripe for the taking, and if the Texans don’t take it, it’s because Osweiler hasn’t performed up to expectations.
