7. Indianapolis Colts (4-2)

Recap: The battle for AFC South supremacy between the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans went to Indy in what was a battle that came down to the last drive of the game. A few Deshaun Watson turnovers proved costly, but Houston still had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, however Indy dashed those hopes with a huge interception on a Watson pass that sealed the win for Frank Reich’s squad.

Outlook: For the time being, it has been decided: the Colts are the best team in the division. Prior to Week 7, both the Colts and Texans had beat the Chiefs, but it was the Colts who emerged victorious on Sunday. It’s time we start talking about Indy as one of the better teams in the entire league, as the Colts continue to get it done on both sides of the ball. Barring a letdown, the Colts have a great chance to keep the momentum going with a Week 8 matchup against the lost Denver Broncos.
