After an abysmal showing last week against Jacksonville, can the Colts turn it around and save their season?
The Colts have their backs up against the wall. Losing against the Jaguars put them in a corner that they might not be able to fight out of. They now have to win at least 3 of their last 4 games to make the playoffs. Can they do it?
Their toughest game in that run is Sunday in Houston. That Houston team leads the division and is the hottest team in the AFC. Both teams will be motivated to win that game because it will decide the division. But that will be a tall order for the Colts to go in there and win.
But they also play the Dallas Cowboys later as well. They are a hotter team as well. They will be fighting for a division title as well, so the Colts need to be focused for that one as well. Those two games will be the toughest left on the schedule.
They also play the Giants and the Titans. Those games aren’t quite as tough as the first two. But the Colts don’t have an easy road to the playoffs. They could have saved their season if they wouldn’t have lost in Jacksonville, but this is the bed they have made for themselves.
This Sunday is the first step in saving the season. Coming out of Houston with a win would go a long way to improving their playoff odds. If they can win that game, there is a good chance that they will find their way into the post season.
