The 2025 Indianapolis Colts are not going to be a team that is competing in the postseason. After the first eight weeks of the season, that would have been a nearly unthinkable idea, but come Week 18, that's the reality fans of the team are facing.
The Colts truly went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows after their bye week, but in Week 18, they still have the opportunity to hurt a division rival. The Texans are assured of a playoff spot, but their seeding can still change.
Since Indy doesn't own the rights to its own first-round pick thanks to the team's ill-fated midseason trade for CB Sauce Gardner, there's no reason not to play as hard as possible for the win in Week 18.
