The Indianapolis Colts opened the 2021 NFL season in familiar and disappointing fashion, falling 28-16 to the Seattle Seahawks. That's 8 straight Week 1 losses.
The defense was getting shredded in the first half, and when it stood up, the offensive line struggled mightily in protecting quarterback Carson Wentz.
As you might expect, the Colts are taking a beating in the NFL power rankings. Oddly, several on this list believe they are the 21st-best team in the league this week.
Want a silver lining? Considering the AFC South's performance in Week 1, the Colts remain near or at the top among their division foes on these lists.
