26. Indianapolis Colts

Before anyone continues to freak out over the questionable decision by the Indianapolis Colts to go for it late in overtime instead of punting, keep in mind they were just being aggressive, and if it had gone the other way, they would be receiving a ton of praise. And if the Colts want to at least want to takeaway one positive factor, it would be that Andrew Luck continues to show there are no complications with his shoulder after missing all of last year.

Week after week, Luck continues to show that he’s slowly returning to his normal ways after finishing with 464 passing yards to go along with four touchdowns in the loss to Houston, although the team would most likely prefer not to see him throw the football 62 times. Still, just the fact that Luck is able to handle a heavy workload is a huge relief since the Colts no longer have to worry about a backup plan at quarterback, which would have been an annoying process.

Indianapolis may only have one win heading into Week 5, but this team has been playing tougher than expected through the first four weeks, and could still be a surprise contender in the AFC. Of course, if that’s going to have any sort of chance to happen, Luck will need to continue playing on a high level.
