Understand, this is for more than another AFC South title. With a victory, and the very strong likelihood of an AFC South title, the Colts will tie the 1975-83 Dallas Cowboys for most consecutive playoff years (nine). They are tied with four other teams with eight straight; all of those franchises accomplished the feat during the pre-salary cap era, just like the Cowboys, making the Indy mark all the more remarkable.
This isn’t just another bad Raiders team playing out the string. They are 7-7 and still have playoff chances, although those could be killed earlier in the day by a Kansas City victory.
