The Colts beat Cincinnati 35-3; they've now won 6 in a row, and I think Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz got it right when he wrote:
"That's the thing: The Colts could have looked at Manning's lost preseason, the Jeff Saturday injury and all the other fates that befelled them early, shrugged their shoulders and said, "Well, it's been a helluva run, but maybe this just isn't our year.'' Instead, they've remained steadfast."
And look to have a good chance to be on a roll going into January--which, as a team in the NFL, is what you want.
