The playoff picture is beginning to take shape, at least as far as what the Indianapolis Colts need to accomplish the rest of the season. The team was once 7-1 and appeared to be the class of the NFL. Three games later, and Indy might be fighting for its playoff life.
The team is now one game out of the top playoff seed for the AFC after leading that for much of the year. The positive part is that Indy has a tie-break over the Denver Broncos, who are 9-2. The negative part is that the Colts' remaining schedule is fairly brutal.
