. Indianapolis Colts. 30. team. 46. . 2-4

The Indianapolis Colts may not be very good, and who knows what to make out of head coach Chuck Pagano’s efforts this season. But the Colts have shown the ability to be feisty enough, even during prime time against a Tennessee Titans team many thought would be the NFL’s darlings this season.

Week 6’s Monday Night Football matchup might have ended in a 36-22 defeat, pushing Indy to 2-4, but the fact the Colts were able to push the Titans all the way down to the wire says something.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett is no Andrew Luck. But he’s good enough to keep a stagnant Indianapolis offense moving against what we thought would be a solid Tennessee defense.

Going 2-of-9 on third downs didn’t help though, and safety Malik Hooker getting burned for a fourth-quarter touchdown all but sealed the deal.

Hooker is still pretty promising, though.
