"We certainly know how important of a game it is,'' quarterback Peyton Manning said before heading into a three-day weekend. "We have a tough stretch of football starting next week.''
Things don't get any easier soon
The Colts have won the AFC South in six of its eight seasons of existence but currently share second with Houston [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] at 4-2. Tennessee (5-2) moved into first on Sunday with a 37-19 win over Philadelphia.
The Colts are hoping running back Donald Brown (hamstring) and wide receiver [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] (ankle) can return against Houston,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], However, ESPN.com reported Sunday that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] might have aggravated the high sprain to his right ankle that has forced him to miss the past five games.
Dealing with injuries to key personnel that marred their bye week isn't the only worry for the Indianapolis Colts as they return to work today.
That starts with the Texans, who [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] ushered in the season by handling the Colts 34-24 in Houston. It was the first of consecutive AFC South road losses for the Colts -- they fell at Jacksonville 31-28 -- and drove home the point that continued control of the division won't come easily.
The AFC is unfolding as the league's power conference with eight of 16 teams boasting a winning record. The Colts' only sure path to a league-best ninth playoff appearance is as division champion.
After dealing with the Texans, the Colts are at Philadelphia, entertain Cincinnati and travel to New England before consecutive home games with San Diego and Dallas.
Next up: the Houston Texans.
That, along with gaining a measure of payback for the season-opening loss to the Texans, is the Colts' primary motivation.
"We've got to get our situation better.''
A rematch with significant AFC [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] South and postseason ramifications is the focus of ESPN's "Monday Night Football" on Nov. 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Tight end Dallas Clark was placed on [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the season-ending injured reserve list with a wrist injury. Wide receiver Austin Collie (thumb surgery), running back Joseph Addai (nerve damage in his left shoulder) and defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (knee surgery) are out indefinitely. Also, punter Pat McAfee will serve a one-game team-imposed suspension for his arrest on public intoxication charges.
"(Payback) is definitely in the back of your mind because they had success against us last time,'' linebacker Clint [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Session said. "But the main reason is we've lost two division games already.
The Colts had hoped to regain their health during the bye week. Instead, things worsened.
