HOUSTON (AP) – The Houston Texans have regained first place in the AFC South by rebounding from Sunday’s 41-7 loss in Baltimore.  Deshaun Watson threw two touchdown passes to DeAndre Hopkins and finished with 298 yards to help the Texans beat the Colts, 20-17. Houston trailed by four early in the fourth quarter when Hopkins got in front of Pierre Desir and stretched out to haul in a 30-yard reception to give the Texans a 20-17 lead.  Hopkins finished with 94 yards receiving, including a 35-yard scoring grab in the second quarter.  Jacoby Brissett ran for a touchdown but threw for only 129 yards as the 6-5 Colts dropped one game behind the division-leading Texans.
