Week 5 is here and that’s long enough to make a semi-accurate analysis of teams. Both the Colts and Broncos have fallen short of their expectations.
The Colts lost 24-17 to the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. They’ve played each team in the AFC South and couldn’t pick up a single win. RB Jonathan Taylor was held to 42 rushing yards on 20 carries in the Week 4 defeat and suffered an ankle injury that will keep him sidelined Thursday.
The Broncos had a relatively easy schedule to start the season and yet sit 2-2, trailing the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs. Denver has put up 16, 16, 11 and 23 points to start the season. RB Javonte Williams has been ruled out for the season after suffering an ACL injury in Week 4.
