Colts Head Coach Shane Steichen on the Texans: "I think they're doing some good things. Obviously, their record speaks for itself. They're a talented group. I think defensively they do a great job of flying around and then they have a lot of star power on offense too. I know Nico (Collins) is out, but Tank Dell's a hell of a player, so is Diggs (Stefon Diggs) and (Joe) Mixon and the quarterback is playing good, and (Dalton) Schultz the tight end. So, they know us. We know them. It will be a hell of a challenge going down there, but we're fired up for the challenge."
Colts Quarterback Anthony Richardson on the Texans: "We're just excited for this matchup. Another division opponent on our schedule, another opportunity to go out there and showcase who we are as a team. We're just looking for a W this week."
Steichen on a rivalry with the Texans: "I think it started last year, just the way things ended last year. But yeah, these are always big games. I think all division games are kind of rivalry-ish, whoever it is, but this one will be big for us."
Colts Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley on the Texans Offense: "What's made them more complete is their run game. Now they can run the ball. Joe Mixon's a great back, and someone you've got to be aware of in the run game. They're committed to running the ball. And they're committed to take their shots. They're a really well-balanced team that utilizes all their skillsets."
Bradley on Texans Quarterback C.J. Stroud: "They're obviously very talented. The quarterback's extremely good. He can put up 350 yards at any time."
Richardson on facing the Texans for the second time this season: "It doesn't really change much. Of course, we've got some information on it because we played them before, but you've still got to prepare the same way because we don't know what they're doing in their meeting rooms. We don't know what they're trying to scheme up or switch up. So, it's just preparing the same way each and every week and just getting ready for the game."
Linebacker Zaire Franklin on facing the Texans for the second time this season: "I do think that's kind of crazy that they always make us play like a division foe twice before Halloween. I don't even know if the Eagles have played the Cowboys yet. You know what I mean? But that's just how the schedule goes for us. But I mean, look it's a division opponent, obviously, like I said, we dropped the Week 1. We get a chance to go see them at their house. It's going to be a good time, so just looking forward to it."
