The Colts

As I write this the Indianapolis Colts are undefeated. They are the only team who have not lost this year. Today they play the New York Jets in a late game. They should win. They may not. That's why they play the games, right.

To date they have won 14 games. To win 14 games in an NFL season is very difficult to do. To win those 14 games in a row is even a bit harder. To win the 14 games from the start of the season, is even a bit harder.

Next week they play the Buffalo Bills. They don't have a record as good as the Jets, so you could say that they have a real chance to go 16-0 in the regular season.

That would be impressive, very impressive but, we already know that. There are other things that make this really impressive. They have been in the national spotlight for the whole season. Peyton Manning is a bona fide star in the NFL and people watch him. They have a new head coach. They have been a good team for a long time but have remained very good longer than many players careers. They find guys to replace the old guard before its too late.

This is a class organization. When they drafted Payton Manning, oh so long ago now, they decided that they would become a winning franchise, and they have. They have stayed that way.

The Indianapolis Colts are probably going to go 15-0 by the end of the day today, and if they do that they will probably go 16-0 in the regular season. Measured with any device, you will come up with very impressive.
