"Texans coach Gary Kubiak half jokes that he is tired of seeing the Indianapolis Colts win the division.

That is understandable considering the Colts have claimed the AFC South title six times in the division's eight-year existence. The Texans have finished first only, oh, that's right, they haven't.

If you don't beat the Colts, you probably won't win the AFC South. The Texans have managed to do that just once in 16 tries. Game 17 is Sunday at Reliant Stadium.

Conventional wisdom says if you don't pressure Peyton Manning you have little chance of beating the Colts. That is why the Texans said they drafted Mario Williams. He has gotten to Manning a few times — five sacks in eight games — and has had a couple of game-changing plays, including a forced fumble in the Texans' win.

Don't be surprised if Williams has another big game Sunday."
