17. team. 46. . . Previous: 18th. Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts keep hanging around this season and it’s hard to tell if they’re a good team or not. They’re 5-5 after a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars but they barely got the win over their two-win divisional opponents. They also had another so-so game from Carson Wentz.
Formerly the No. 2 overall pick out of North Dakota State, Wentz was traded by the Eagles to Indy this offseason and he has had some good games, some bad games, and some like the one he had Sunday.
Wentz ended up with just 180 yards passing and while he had no turnovers, he also had no touchdowns in the win. Instead, their offense was carried by Jonathan Taylor who is in line to win the NFL rushing title now that Derrick Henry is out with an injury.
On defense, they had a few sacks which were enough to slow Trevor Lawrence down and they forced a fumble from the No. 1 pick late in the game as he was trying to move the Jags downfield to attempt to steal the win.
Having said all that, the Colts have yet to win against a team that boasts a winning record. They get another couple of chances with the Bills and Bucs coming up next. Wins there could keep them alive but a couple of losses could be devastating.
