13. Indianapolis Colts (18)

Entering Week 12, the Indianapolis Colts are now 6-4 and thanks to the loss by the Houston Texans, they’re tied for first place in the AFC South. They already knocked Houston off one time and now they have a chance to make a huge statement as the two teams will meet on Thursday Night Football this week.

However, they might have to enter that game without their star running back Marlon Mack. The third-year pro was having the best season of his career, already managing 862 yards and four touchdowns. On Sunday, he had put up 109 yards and a score but then went down with a hand injury.

The good news for the Colts is that his backup had a career game himself. Jonathan Williams, a former standout at Arkansas, entered this game with just one yard on the season and only 95 in his entire career. He broke out though, going for 116 yards against the Jaguars defense.

As a team, Indianapolis gained 264 yards and three touchdowns in their big 33-13 victory. That was impressive, especially considering the fact that Jacoby Brissett managed only 148 yards through the air. Earlier in the season, this team seemed like they would struggle but have answered the call and are in the mix for their division title.
