In week 7, the 1-5 Colts destroyed Buffalo 37 to 5. After that game, power rankings had the Colts listed around 27th in the NFL, which amazingly was exactly their ranking by record. Oh, NFL media analysts, you add so much to the conversation.
At the time, my own take was this:
”Personally, I feel the Colts are playing much better than their record and I have the data to back up that claim”.
After I wrote that, the Colts won 8 of the next 9 games on their playoff push to eventually be considered one of the better teams in the league.
