The Indianapolis Colts (3-12) complete their rough season against the Houston Texans (4-11), who are also having a rough season.

Is it Chuck Pagano's last game as Colts coach? Which players are suiting up for the Colts for the last time? 

Follow along here with updates, photos, analysis and more. Please refresh to get the latest.

First quarter

► The Colts are playing pretty well so far, but here's your reminder that nothing matters. 

► Doyle hauls in another grab and has 22 yards on the day. This Colts drive was going strong until Jacoby Brissett was sacked for a loss of 10 to the 35-yard line. He's slow to get up.

► Jack Doyle is here! He picks up the Colts' first first down of the day. T.Y. Hilton tallies consecutive catches after for another first down. Colts make it to the 48-yard line.

Can he catch Dallas Clark?

► The Texans chipped away for a 10-play, 41-yard drive with three first downs, but a nice rush from Tarell Basham caused them to stal. It's capped by a Fairbairn 52-yard field goal.

Colts preview coverage

► Gregg Doyel just can't believe Andrew Luck

► The overriding lessons of this lost season

► Believe it or not, this game matters
