The Indianapolis Colts hurt their playoff chances drastically after losing to the Denver Broncos a week ago. Despite this, there remains a highly unlikely yet possible shot of them sneaking into the big dance. That is if everything falls in their favor, and there’s a lot that needs to happen.
A last-place Wild Card berth is still (somehow) in the cards. However, Indy’s hopes of winning the AFC South are once again dead before the season itself has concluded. That’s a decade straight of the division going to anyone besides the Indianapolis Colts.
Even if the Colts were to win out and the first-placed Houston Texans were to lose out, both teams would finish the 2024 regular season with 9-8 records and the tiebreaker would favor Houston since they swept Indy in both of their matchups earlier in the year.
