INDIANAPOLIS — These Colts, the same Colts that were written off by some and cautiously downgraded by the rest three weeks ago, should now be appraised the way they were before Andrew Luck dropped his shocking bombshell on the NFL at the end of August.
These Colts should be considered the favorites.
Favorites to win the AFC South, to be sure, even though the Texans team that Indianapolis knocked off 30-23 on Sunday is likely going to be as tough to beat as it was on Sunday, when Deshaun Watson and a talented Houston team simply wouldn’t go away until the final minute.
