The Jets #1?

Wow, Don. Just wow.

Indianapolis Colts (14-2)

I can hear the Colts fans now: How can the Jets and Ravens, two teams Indy beat soundly in the AFC playoffs in January, start this season ranked ahead of the defending AFC champs? It’s a fair point, and yes, I did see both of those games, thanks for asking. All I can say is that was then and this is now. The Colts’ Super Bowl window isn’t closed, so let’s not overreact. And I’m not making the same mistake I made last preseason, believing that Indy would finally miss the playoffs. But I don’t see where the Colts really improved this offseason, and the status quo can sometimes be the enemy in the NFL.
