The Indianapolis Colts were on a great run to start this season but they sort of came down to earth against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. After being the last one-loss team in the AFC, the Colts join a group of two-loss teams. But the tiebreakers work out in Indy’s favor, and their conference record keep them in the top spot.
The New England Patriots won to reach 7-2. They are now tied for the top spot in the conference.
The AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers obviously beat the Colts and they
stay in the mix in the top four.
The Los Angeles Chargers won to stick in the wild card position.
The big game in the AFC still hasn’t happened, as the Buffalo Bills host the Kansas City chiefs in the late afternoon time slot.
On the cusp of the wild card teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Las Vegas Raiders in the late window.
These games are ongoing, and we will update.
