Nine more games must go the Colts' way for a playoff berth.
One bullet dodged, nine more to go in the Indianapolis Colts’ most improbable playoff possibility.
When the Denver Broncos outlasted the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 in overtime Monday night, it kept the Colts in mathematical contention for a playoff berth in Week 17. But it’s going to take nothing short of a miracle.
To open the door further, the Houston Texans (8-7) must lose at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-10). The Texans will be overwhelming favorites to clinch the AFC South Division title and eliminate the Colts in the process.
