The last-place Jaguars played the roles of spoiler by breaking a seven-game losing streak with a 6-0 victory over the Colts, who had won five in a row.

The Colts blew a great opportunity. If they had beaten Jacksonville, they would have remained two games behind the Texans. Indianapolis comes to NRG Stadium on Sunday.

Jacksonville 6, Indianapolis 0

Records: Colts 6-6, Jaguars 4-8

The Colts' five-game winning streak ended. Three times, coach Frank Reich went for it on fourth down, all when they were within field goal range. He took a field goal off the scoreboard to get first-and-goal at the Jaguars' 5 and came away with no points. Another streak ended when quarterback Andrew Luck failed to throw for at least three touchdowns for the first time in nine games. Luck finished with 33-of-52 for 248 yards and one interception. He was sacked three times after getting sacked once in the previous five games. Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone benched Blake Bortles and inserted Cody Kessler, who won his first game as an NFL starter after going 0-8. He threw for only 150 yards, but he didn't have an interception. The Jaguars generated only 211 yards of offense, including 79 rushing.

Next up: Indianapolis at Texans, Jacksonville at Tennessee

The Texans beat the Colts 37-34 in overtime for the first victory in their current streak. It could be difficult to beat Andrew Luck two times in one season.
