Would Colts be AFC favorite if they acquired Matthew Stafford?

Considering how the Indianapolis Colts lost a quarterback, left tackle, and offensive coordinator in a two-week span, it’s easy to assume that Frank Reich’s squad is in line for a major regression. However, with the news that Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is now available in trade talks, Indy has a clear path to contention.

Not only will adding Stafford keep the offense humming along, but adding him to a team coached by Reich and Matt Eberflus with a ton of cap space could make the Colts a favorite to contend for a Super Bowl.
