After a Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Indianapolis Colts are now 7-2 on the season.
So where do they now sit in the AFC playoff standings heading into Week 10?
Despite the loss, the Colts are still the top seed in the AFC, although they are now tied with the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. The Buffalo Bills also sit just a half-game back at 6-2.
The Colts hold the tie-breaker currently over New England and Denver because they have the better in-conference win percentage with a record of 6-1 in the AFC. New England and Denver are each 4-2.
As the one seed, if the Colts can maintain that position, they would be the only team to receive a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Along with the Colts’ loss, the Jacksonville Jaguars did win on Sunday and picked up a game in the AFC South race.
NFL.com has the Colts’ playoff probability at 90% — the third-highest mark in football.
