21. Indianapolis Colts

Speaking of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck must have felt like a million bucks after helping his team pick up their first win of 2018 on the road Sunday against the Washington Redskins, marking his first victory since 2016. Nobody really knew what to expect from Luck this season after missing all of last year while recovering from a shoulder injury, and seeing the former No. 1 pick being able to take brutal hits is a huge sigh of relief, as bad as that sounds.

Last season was a disaster for Indianapolis, and there’s simply no way to sugarcoat it since the original plan seemed to be that Luck would only miss the beginning of the year, which was obviously far from the case. And now that the Colts have a win under their belt to be sitting at 1-1 before another tough road battle in the City of Brotherly Love, all eyes will be on Luck to see if he can lead the team to a second win in a row.

Obviously, that’s going to be easier said than done since the Philadelphia Eagles will be playing with a ton of momentum with Carson Wentz returning to the starting lineup. But when it comes to the NFL, anything is possible, even for a team like Indianapolis.
