NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week

13. Indianapolis Colts (7)

Indianapolis Colts will be anxious to see how serious the injury surrounding Jacoby Brissett is after the quarterback was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a knee injury.

As great as Brian Hoyer looked after filling in for Brissett, if the Colts quarterback is expected to miss significant time as a result of the injury, Indianapolis could be in trouble.

Coming up short the way they did to the Steelers was already frustrating enough for the Colts on Sunday, but this injury to Brissett could shake things up even more in the AFC South race.

Prior to the weekend, Indianapolis seemed to be in the driver’s seat ahead of the Houston Texans in the division standings, and it certainly didn’t help the case for the Colts to see Bill O’Brien’s squad to earn another win in London over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On a positive note, if Brissett needed to miss Week 10, Indianapolis could most likely afford to rest their beloved quarterback since they should have little trouble getting by the Miami Dolphins.

But before jumping too far ahead, Colts fans hope to hear good news once their is an update surrounding Brissett so Indianapolis can go from there.
