Ten down, six to go
Here's what we learned about the Indianapolis Colts in their 45-37 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals:
The Colts can do it all.
Relying on its defense for most of the season, Indianapolis put on an offensive show to raise its record to a perfect 10-0. Winning with offense or defense is a luxury the Colts have never had under Tony Dungy. Now, they have a six-game season to become the first NFL team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to have an unbeaten regular season.
A Week 16 trip to Seattle will be the only tough game in which Indy will have to deal with the elements. The Colts still have to face the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Diego Chargers, but they'll be playing them at home. You have to like Indianapolis' chances in a controlled climate.
Cincinnati fared a lot better than it did in its previous big test of the season – a Week 7 loss to the Steelers. The Bengals feel like they can beat the Colts, and in any other year, Cincinnati would be right there at the top. But this is Indy's year. The Colts have put everything together, and they are the team to beat.
