Colts will need resolve to make it into the playoffs

Playoff time is right around the corner for the NFL. If the Colts want to take part in them, they are going to need some resolve.

The Colts are playing as well as any team in the league right now. They are winners of 7 of their last 8 games, and are looking to keep their momentum going right into the playoffs. But they have to get their first. And in order to do that, they are going to need some resolve.

They can’t be scoreboard watching at other teams. They just have to focus on controlling what they can control. And that is winning games. They play a bad Giants team next week and then finish off the season in Tennessee. That game could decide who gets a playoff spot.

Staying focused is the number one priority for this team. They wouldn’t be in this position if they had stayed focused against Jacksonville. If they would have won that game, they would be in the number 6 seed right now and in control of their own destiny.

No doubt the coaches will be reminding them of that all throughout the week. Keeping their eye on the opponent in front of them is key. So far this season, the opponent who beat the Colts the best is the Colts themselves. They have had a lot of self-inflicted wounds this year.

There is a chance that they win all of their games left this season and still not make the playoffs. That is because they need teams ahead of them to lose at least one more game. But that is the position they put themselves in, and they can’t worry about that.

Winning games is what this team is accustomed to now. If they win their last two, they should be making a postseason appearance for the first time since 2014.
