The Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans provided one of the most exciting games of the early window on Sunday.
The Jaguars were up 29-10 after three quarters and appeared ready to cruise to a win, but the Texans produced 26 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull off a comeback win. This both gave Houston a much-needed win while also handing Jacksonville a devastating loss, considering the AFC South standings.
As the Indianapolis Colts beat the Atlanta Falcons early Sunday morning, Week 10's results played a significant role in the division race. The Colts, who were in the driver's seat already, further added to their division lead, while the Jaguars and Texans got closer to each other.
Of course, the Tennessee Titans were off this week, but they appear headed towards another last-place finish. Here's how the AFC South standings are after Week 10.

AFC South standings
| Place | Team | Record |

The Colts extended their division lead on Sunday by defeating Falcons in Germany, and got some help when the Texans beat the Jaguars in Houston. Indianapolis is now up 2.5 games on Jacksonville, but the two teams have not played each other yet this year.
For the Jaguars, the loss was a wasted opportunity to keep pace with Indianapolis and potentially bury Houston. Not only did the Jaguars surrender a game in the standings to the Colts, they also allowed the Texans to get to one game out of second place to remain in the playoff picture.

The Colts enter their bye week atop the AFC South with the best record in the NFL, but they have a tough schedule on the other end. Indianapolis still has to play the Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, and they have all four games against the Jaguars and Texans remaining.
While Indianapolis has a 2.5-game lead, it will need to keep this strong play up against some quality teams. The Colts only have two games left against teams below.500, and both those games are vs. The Texans.

While the Jaguars blew a wasted opportunity on Sunday, they still have a chance to make up ground moving forward. Jacksonville has three games against the Titans and New York Jets, along with both games vs. The Colts on their schedule.
The Jaguars also get the benefit of still getting to play the Titans twice, which is something that isn't the case for either the Colts or Texans. Jacksonville's final game of hosting Tennessee could be a crucial advantage.

The Texans have now won four of their last six games to put them in position to make a run at a playoff spot. However, Houston still has tough games against the Colts, Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers and Buffalo Bills that the team must navigate to salvage its season.
While the Texans' schedule is full of tough games, Houston does get games against the Titans and Las Vegas Raiders before the season's end.
