If they beat the Raiders and the Jaguars in their next 2 contests, then back-to-back home games against the Titans and the Dolphins will be huge. I think that they need to (at a minimum) win at least 3 out of their next 4 games to keep themselves in reasonable striking distance of winning the division ........ starting the season at 1-5 will put that kind of pressure on a team, even when playing in a mediocre division such as the AFC South.

It's not a "dead horse." It's a difference of a full game in the standings.

The Texans, with their current 5-game winning streak and 5-3 overall record are looking like the biggest obstacle to the Colts winning the divisions right now.

As it stands now, the Colts need to make up 2 games on them in the second half of the season in order to prevail.



That said, the Colts themselves need to put everything that has happened in the first 8 games of the season in the rear-view mirror and have tunnel vision from here on out. That game could very well come into play in the final 2 weeks of the season, but the Colts themselves cannot worry about that. They need to concern themselves about getting to 4-5 in their next game ........ and if they should do so, then be solely concerned with getting to 5-5 after that.
