Still, few saw this coming -- the seven wins in eight games or the 23-0 spanking of the Cowboys, who had won five in a row and were seeking to wrap up the NFC East title with a victory. The Colts were 1-5 in October and heading nowhere fast. The final 10 games were supposed to be about laying a foundation for the 2019 season, or so many of us thought. But this group is too young and too prideful for that. The players took to heart the words of their first-year head coach to view each week as its own season. Trust the process, Frank Reich told them. And now, with two weeks to go in the regular season, the Colts have positioned themselves for a legitimate shot at one of the AFC's six playoff berths.
