The Indianapolis Colts' hopes of reaching the NFL playoffs are dwindling.
If the Colts don't beat the New Orleans Saints on the road on Monday night, then they'll be eliminated from playoff contention. That's a tough task, and even with a win, Indianapolis would still be one game behind both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans for the second AFC wild-card spot.
The Colts play the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars in Weeks 16 and 17. So, if they beat the Saints, they might be in decent position to win out. But even then, it's going to take some help for them to get into the playoffs.
