The trade deadline has passed, so the focus now shifts back to the football field, where theIndianapolis Colts are 2-7, following a last-minute loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
We've reached the point in the season where the Colts are no longer dropping in most power rankings, but that's only because they've just about bottomed out.
Here is where the Colts stand entering Week 10.
Nate Davis, USA Today : 31st (-)
"They seemed to embrace a rebuild … then decided to hold RB Jonathan Taylor hostage."
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: 30th (-)
"It's time to start thinking about the future. But without a first-round pick next year, where do they get quarterback help?"
Conor Orr, SI.com: 26th (+3)
"I enjoy the fact that the Colts were roundly panned by trading DeForrest Buckner and Quentin Nelson super early, so they are forcing Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs to
wait until the absolute last possible second Tuesday to find out where they’re going."
ESPN: 29th (-)
Most important game of the second half: Week 10 vs. the Dolphins
"The Colts have become a train wreck in recent weeks, losing five straight and looking like a team with bleak short- and long-term outlooks. But here's some good news: They are actually favored against Miami! While the Colts have an underwhelming schedule the rest of the way -- four of their next five opponents have losing records -- who knows if Indy will be a favorite in any of its remaining games. Additionally, beating Miami would take the Colts out of the conversation for the league's worst team, at least for the time being."
Maurice Moton, Bleacher Report: 31st (-)
"Indianapolis is circling the drain, and it's anyone's guess how this team will look week to week after the trade deadline. We do know it's a squad that belongs at the bottom of the power rankings, though."
