24. team. 46. . 6-6. . Indianapolis Colts

It’s clear the Indianapolis Colts will live and die by how well quarterback Andrew Luck plays.

The Colts were sure glad to have him back against the Jets on Monday Night Football, and Luck did everything he could to absolutely torch New York at MetLife Stadium under the prime-time lights. He had four touchdowns before the fourth quarter even started, and Luck showed zero signs of setback from his concussion absence a week ago.

Indianapolis should be ranked higher, based on record alone. But the Colts defense is aging and atrocious. And beating the Jets to get back to the .500 mark isn’t exactly a sign this team is getting into form.

But at least they looked good on Monday night.
