The 9-4 Colts KO'd the Patriots the following day (Sunday) to close out the season at 10-4, and took the AFC East crown due to a 2-game sweep over the Dolphins in head-on play.

By "secured" I meant that it put them in the drivers seat to win the division,
which they did the following week as you correctly pointed out. Kind of
like how the U.S. hockey team's win over the USSR did not give them the
Gold medal right then and there, they still had to beat Finland.
