NFL Power Rankings Week 11: Titans stun Chiefs to keep hope alive
17. Indianapolis Colts (5-4)
Recap: Sit Jacoby Brissett, they said. You can easily beat the Miami Dolphins, even with Brian Hoyer behind center, they said. Well, someone forgot to tell the Indianapolis Colts that this is the NFL and they still needed to show up to play this game. The Colts had to claw back from a 10-0 deficit in the first half and eventually took a 12-10 lead in the fourth quarter, however their offense stalled after that and the Dolphins would kick a pair of late field goals to seal the win in Indy.
Outlook: All jokes aside, this Colts team should have been good enough to handle the lowly Dolphins even without Brissett, but a shocking loss like this is what makes the NFL so great. Any given Sunday, right? Anyhow, the Colts could have put themselves back in first place with the win and the Houston Texans idle, but failed to do so and remain in second place with the Tennessee Titans breathing down their neck. Up next for the Colts is a tough divisional matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars at home.
