It’s been a long time since a Colts game in October had critical written all over it for the horseshoes, but that’s what’s facing them in Nashville Monday. The Titans have pushed the Colts to the edge of the AFC South cliff, possibly putting them four games back before the season’s midpoint. Sure, anything can happen, but it would take quite a collapse if it got there.

Because of the urgency, don’t be surprised to see Bob Sanders and possibly Kelvin Hayden, both coming off knee surgeries give it a go. Their presence alone should help a defense that needs to stop the run.
