What to make of Chuck Pagano’s team? It doesn’t seem like much has changed over the last few years, other than the fact that quarterback Andrew Luck has managed to remain healthy so far this season. Veteran running back Frank Gore has had a very respectable year but more balance is needed. Luck has thrown for 17 scores but does have 10 turnovers on the year. But once again, Indianapolis is near the bottom of the league in total defense. When you place it all on one man in a team game, you will eventually fail. General manager Ryan Grigson still has a lot of work to do. <p>Next Week: The Colts are looking to get back to the .500 mark and will try to do that against a team they have defeated 10 straight times. But these are not your usual Tennessee Titans, a club that Indianapolis defeated in Week 7 at Nashville (34-26). It’s a club that has scored an imposing 118 points in their last three contests.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: They are still in the postseason race but now find themselves behind both the Texans (6-3) and Titans (5-5) in the AFC South. The defense remains a major question mark and with any luck (no pun intended) the Colts were able to fix some things during their off week. Still, they face a bit of a climb in terms of the playoffs.</p>. 4-5. Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 23. team. 46
