Breakdown: The NFL didn't do the Indianapolis Colts any favors with its 2016 schedule. The Colts, who missed the playoffs for the first time in the Andrew Luck era, have to face the defending Super Bowl champions early in the season and they play five potential playoff teams in their final six games of the season. And oh yeah, the Colts don't have a bye after playing Jacksonville in London. Ouch! Not only does Indianapolis travel to Denver in Week 2, it'll be facing the Broncos after they had more than a week off because they're opening the season at home on Sept.
