There is a maxim in the NFL that great teams beat bad teams, and that is just what the Indianapolis Colts did in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been a poor excuse for a football team throughout this short-tenured Pete Caroll era, but they are still an NFL squad with star players.
Any one team can beat a better team on any given Sunday, but the truly elite teams are the ones that take care of business when they are supposed to. You can only play who you play after all. Not all games are going to be as easy for Indy as this game was, but if they can keep operating at this level every week, they are truly going to be one of the premier teams in the league.
