Though it is a moot point, the Indianapolis Colts are still technically in the playoff race with three games remaining. That could all officially end on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints in Week 15.
The Colts, currently holding the No. 10 seed in the AFC, will officially be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss against the Saints at the Mercedez-Benz Superdome on Monday Night Football.
Not that anyone truly believes the Colts are going to get some magical help over the final three games that vaults Indy into the playoffs, it will become official with a loss.
The Colts are in a bad way right now. They’ve lost five of their last six games after starting the season 5-2 with the potential to take the division. Now, they are left wondering who the future of the quarterback position will be and what other moves they need to make to get back into contention.
The Saints will undoubtedly be favored at home in primetime. They are one of the best teams in the NFL and have a legitimate shot at making the Super Bowl this season.
In the highly-likely even the Colts miss out on the playoffs, they will have done so in four out of the last five seasons.
Most of the fanbase is already looking toward the 2020 NFL draft and the upcoming free agency class.
It will all become official with a loss on the road in Week 15.
