The Colts lost a terrible game against the Dolphins last week in one of the most embarrassing performances in franchise history. Now they have to play a divisional foe that is coming off a bye week. Make no mistake about it, this is a must-win game for Indy.
If the Colts don’t win this game, there’s a really good chance they don’t make the playoffs. They are a full game behind Houston for first place in the division. Although they do have the tiebreaker, that’s not something they want to have to use.
For wild card purposes, they are currently the 8 seed, which is out of the playoffs.
