The job security of Chuck Pagano remains an issue as the Indianapolis Colts have suffered two straight blowout losses.

"They can't eat you," Pagano told reporters Monday. "They can fire you, but they can't eat you. So if the worst thing is a year from now, let's say I'm in Boise playing with my granddaughters, I'm going to be fine. That ain't going to happen, but I'm going to be fine if I go down that road."

The Colts are 6-7 heading into Sunday's AFC South showdown against the Houston Texans.

"We have a great opportunity, as bad as it may seem, with our record, the ups, the downs, the ebbs and flows, however you want to state it," Pagano said. "There won't be anybody outside this building at West 56th Street that will give us any chance. We've got a job to do. We've got a great opportunity.

"[The players] understand the circumstances. We all do. Playing at home, division rival, division game, division on the line. I don't know how you cannot get up for this contest."
