Thirteen weeks into the NFL season, the playoff picture is beginning to take shape. The Colts find themselves right in the middle of things as they currently have a 7-5 record and are the sixth seed in the AFC.
As the team's playoff hopes grow, there's still a chance that they can bring home their first AFC South title since 2014 despite being swept by the division-leading Jacksonville Jaguars.
With the Jaguars' home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, the Colts are just one game back of the top spot in the division.
While they have the same record as the Texans, the Colts are higher in the standings because they beat them in Week 2, giving them the head-to-head advantage. The Colts will host the Texans in Week 18 in a game that could have major playoff implications.
Here are the AFC South Standings as of December 5:
| Team | Record | Division Record |
|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville Jaguars | 8-4 | 4-1 |
| Indianapolis Colts | 7-5 | 3-2 |
| Houston Texans | 7-5 | 1-2 |
| Tennessee Titans | 4-8 | 0-3 |
