While this win would certainly seem to establish that we're a better team and more mature this year, it could also indicate that the Colts are on the downside of their very solid run in recent years ? In other words as they often say in golf, the front-runner is now coming back to the rest of the field. And since division rivals in the AFC South play basically the same very difficut schedule this year along with each other twice, that opens up the possibility that the only team going from this division to the playoffs is the division winner with perhaps just a 9-7 record ? So obviously that makes division wins even more important and is another reason to feel good about the season opener.
