{{Main|Colts–Texans rivalry}}
In one of the newer rivalries in the NFL, the Colts and [[Houston Texans]] have intensified their animosity in recent years. Despite Indianapolis dominating the AFC South and this particular series under quarterback [[Peyton Manning]] in the 2000s, Houston has recently provided more competition, winning the division five times since 2011. As of the 2023 season, Indianapolis currently leads the series 33–11–1, including a win in the postseason in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/indianapolis-colts/teamvsteam?opp=13 |title=Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans Results — The Football Database |website=FootballDB.com |language=en |access-date=November 23, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Fox |first=Marcus |date=September 6, 2010 |title=AFC South: Indianapolis Colts Are No. 1, But Who's No. 2 In The Division? |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/452841-afc-south-indianapolis-colts-are-1-but-whos-2 |access-date=July 17, 2022 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Josh |date=August 22, 2010 |title=Colts set to dominate AFC South |url=https://www.meridianstar.com/sports/colts-set-to-dominate-afc-south/article_c6e0674a-a24e-535e-968e-7e43c6866e04.html |access-date=July 17, 2022 |website=Meridian Star |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.stampedeblue.com/2018/11/20/18104622/who-is-the-colts-biggest-rival |title=Who is the Colts' biggest rival? |last=Blystone |first=Chris |date=November 20, 2018 |website=Stampede Blue |language=en |access-date=March 17, 2020 |archive-date=March 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308132614/https://www.stampedeblue.com/2018/11/20/18104622/who-is-the-colts-biggest-rival |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Rodriguez |first=Kyle J. |date=December 13, 2015 |title=Is the Indianapolis Colts' AFC South Dominance Gone for Good? |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2598771-is-the-indianapolis-colts-afc-south-dominance-gone-for-good |access-date=July 17, 2022 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Winger |first=Aris |date=August 11, 2008 |title=The End of a Reign in the AFC South |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/46566-the-end-of-a-reign-in-the-afc-south |access-date=July 17, 2022 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref>
