Chuck Pagano has said that the Indianapolis Colts will be playing to win on Sunday, despite already being assured of a place in the playoffs.
The Colts face AFC South rivals the Houston Texans, who are still playing to secure a bye week.
The head coach told the Indianapolis Star: "It's not in our DNA. You want to win. You want to win at home. You want to go into the playoffs with momentum.
"We want to keep the momentum going. We're going to play to win every single week, regardless of the situation, regardless of record.
"We owe it to everybody else, our fans, this city, the state and community, whatever, to go out and play football."
Pagano will take charge of the Colts on Sunday for the first time since being diagnosed with leukaemia in September.
