The Indianapolis Colts have four games remaining on the regular-season schedule and as the quarter-pole hits, the race for the AFC playoffs has been heating up for weeks now.
The Big Picture
The Colts are right in the thick of the playoff race with a number of other teams. Currently holding the final wild-card spot, the Colts are just one game behind the Cleveland Browns for the top wild-card spot while they are tied with the Tennessee Titans for the lead in the AFC South.
This Week’s Talking Point
The Colts have a crucial matchup this week against the Las Vegas Raiders, who are currently one game behind the Colts in the AFC playoff race. With the Titans getting a likely win against the Jaguars in Week 14, the Colts have to come out on top on the road against the Raiders this week.
