AFC South standings update entering Week 4

After pulling off an upset win on the road, the Indianapolis Colts (2-1) are now in sole possession of first place in the AFC South following the slate of games in Week 3.

It’s the first time since the 2020 season the Colts have started with a 2-1 record, which also happens to be the last time they made the playoffs. Two teams in the division grabbed wins while two others found themselves in the loss column in Week 3.

Travis Etienne had a solid day with 133 total yards, but the defense failed to record a single sack on C.J. Stroud. Next up, a trip to London.
