25. Indianapolis Colts 3-5 (20)

When it comes to the most frustrating teams to figure out, the Indianapolis Colts may rank near the top of the list as they have been one of the most inconsistent teams in football, and it was displayed on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

For the first time in five games, Sunday’s contest for the Colts wasn’t decided by single digits as Andrew Luck and company fell at home 30-14. In what seems to be a consistent pattern, the ground game and defense was a major issue for Indianapolis as they fell to 3-5 on the season.

Nothing against the Chiefs, but it’s no secret their offense has never been anything to brag about, so it says a lot about the Colts’ defense when they surrender 30 points like they did on Sunday. The sad thing is Indianapolis seemed to be on their way to being in good position a few weeks ago when it seemed like they were going to defeat the Houston Texans, only to let a golden opportunity to move up into first place slip away.

As crazy as it sounds, Indianapolis can’t even be ruled out of the division when looking at how bad the AFC South is turning out to be.
