Colts’ power rankings roundup Week 17: Looking to rebound

Here’s where the Colts stand in the Week 17 power rankings.

The Indianapolis Colts (8-7) are looking to bounce back following a brutal loss on the road with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

It was arguably the worst loss of the season. The Colts went on the road and mustered just 10 points, seven of which were scored on the opening drive. Both sides of the ball struggled to generate any rhythm, and the Colts failed to take advantage of other losses around the AFC.

In most outlets, the Colts were knocked down a few pegs, but they are still near the middle of the pack.

Colts’ power rankings roundup Week 15: A small step back

Checking in on where the Colts sit in the power rankings for Week 15.

The final month of the season commences this week as the Indianapolis Colts (7-6) look to get back in the win column after snapping a four-game winning streak.

In what was easily their worst loss of the season, the Colts had no answer for the Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) in the 34-14 loss on the road in Week 14. Other teams around them in the playoff race suffered similar fates so there’s still a  chance they make it into the dance if they can right the ship.

The majority of outlets dinged the Colts in the power rankings due to the loss, but they still sit in the middle of the teens for the most part. A win at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) in Week 15 should help their standing.

Colts power rankings roundup Week 9: Treading water

Checking out where the Colts sit in the Week 9 power rankings.

Coming off their most recent loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 8, the Colts had a 17-7 lead at one point during the second quarter and entered halftime down just one point. However, they wound up struggling mightily during the second half, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Colts’ power rankings roundup Week 7: Free falling

Rounding up where the Colts sit in the Week 7 power rankings.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-3) found themselves in a free fall through the majority of the power rankings following the Week 6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2).

In what was an ugly performance from Gardner Minshew that included four turnovers, a potential revenge game narrative fell flat after the first offensive drive. The Anthony Richardson-less offense lacks consistent explosiveness, especially when the backfield managed just 40 rushing yards on 15 carries.

The majority of power rankings entering Week 7 now have the Colts sitting in the 20s with a few still lingering around the high teens. They dropped in every one of our samples.
