Colts lock up #2 position for the playoffs

The Colts beat the Raiders to go 12-2. With a Jaguars victory over the Steelers, the Colts also locked up the #2 position in the playoffs, getting a first round bye. New England locked up the #1 slot. The Colts won’t play a meaningful game for about 4 weeks (Houston & Tennessee both irrelevant then the first round bye in the playoffs). Historically, the Colts haven’t done well with so much time off. So, hopefully the coaching staff will be able to balance the right amount of rest with the right amount of playing time to have the team healthy and ready to go in the middle of January.
