AFC South Roundup: Colts stay the same in division

The Colts played against the Jets on Sunday, and did not look good in that game. But even though they lost, they didn’t lose ground in the divisional standings.

The AFC South wasn’t expected to be as bad as they have been this season. But no one has been able to really take over at the top. That trend continued this weekend. Everyone is still legitimately fighting for that AFC South divisional crown.

We know that the Colts lost badly against the Jets, but how did everyone else do? Houston continued their hot streak, winning their third straight game after beating the Bills. The win takes them up to 3-3 on the season. They play at Jacksonville next week.

Speaking of Jacksonville, they got spanked by the Cowboys 40-7. They seem to be moving in the wrong direction on offense. They miss Leonard Fournette badly. Now they have lost 3 of their last 4 games and face a hot Houston team next week.

Tennessee is also moving in the wrong direction. They have now lost two straight after getting blanked by the Ravens 21-0. Their offense might be worse than Jacksonville’s. They need to fix it fast, otherwise they will continue to slide. They travel to London to play the Chargers next week.

With all of that happening, three teams are tied at 3-3. The Colts remain just two games back of those teams for the division lead. So as bad as the Colts have played, they still have a chance to win the division, even though that chance is small.

The Colts need to start winning games if they want to break into the top of this division. They can’t keep hoping that these teams lose so they don’t lose ground. But that remains to be seen. The Colts play a home game against the Bills on Sunday.
