INDIANAPOLIS — While the bye week provdes the Indianapolis Colts' players and coaches an opportunity to recharge their batteries, it's also a good opportunity to take a look at what the team is facing when it returns from its break on Monday.
Because of the late bye week, the Colts (3-7) now have just six regular season games remaining. But, having played some of their best football of the season the previous three weeks against Cincinnati, Houston and Pittsburgh, the first pair of games after the bye should be a great measure of how far the Colts have come, facing the top two teams in their own division in back-to-back weeks.
