A hot start was exactly what the Colts needed to get back to .500 heading into Week 12.

It’s hard to determine what we should make of Indianapolis this season. The Colts are about as inconsistent as it gets, which is why they’ll probably stick around the middle of the pack in NFL power rankings.

Quarterback Andrew Luck was efficient enough to ensure the 24-17 victory over the Titans, and former 49ers running back Frank Gore continues to climb in the record books. He was held to just 50 yards and 2.8 yards per carry though.

A Week 12 date with the Pittsburgh Steelers will go a long way in determining whether or not Indianapolis is a contender or pretender. And possibly not having Luck (concussion) for this upcoming game doesn’t help matters at all.
