In 49 Other States It's Just Football: The Indianapolis Colts Have The Best Record in The NFL

In 49 other states it's just football. The Indianapolis Colts (as of right now before the Bucs play) have the best record in the NFL. The Indiana Hoosiers, aside from Ohio State (but like, they're never going to be ranked higher than Ohio State if they're both undefeated) are the best team in college football. As of right now (Sunday, October 19th @ 8:00 PM EST), no football fans anywhere in the country are having as much fun as the ones living in Indiana. 

Ironically enough, even though they play in the NFL, and there is no voting element whatsoever when it comes to determining playoff seeding, the Colts were starting to get the Hoosiers treatment this week. People started looking at the Colts schedule and said, "Wait a minute, I just realized this team actually fucking sucks."

Which was honestly kinda fair. The Colts hadn't beat anyone overly impressive. They would have beat the Rams if A.D. Mithchell hadn't embarked on a one man mission to sabotage the game from within (single-handily took 14-points off the boards). But aside from that, the Colts had beaten a pretty weak lineup of quarterbacks (Tua, Bo Nix, Cam Ward, Geno Smith, Jacoby Brissett). But the Chargers... ok I guess the Chargers aren't necessarily world beaters either. But they have a damn good quarterback in Justin Herbert. So nobody can say the quarterback thing anymore.

But fuck it. What am I saying? The Colts are 6-1 and have the best record in football. Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the NFL. 

Daniel Jones shockingly remains more than competent. 

Their defense continues to overcome injuries, and turn the ball over in big moments.

And they still play in the AFC South. Their schedule is pretty damn favorable for the remainder of the season. Their receiving core is reliable. Shane Steichen is a good head coach again. Their punter is Mexican. Jim Irsay's daughter appears to be a wearing some sort of Christian Dior poker visor on the sidelines.

Everything is coming up Indiana. And not to get too far into the weeds, but even their college basketball team pulled out a gutsy exhibition game win over the formidable "Marian" this weekend.

And I guess Purdue basketball is ranked #1 in the pre-season AP poll if you're into that sort of thing. What time to be a Hoosier. Which as I understand it, means "person of Indiana". So it applies to everything in/from the state. No hard feelings, Jim Harbaugh. 

P.S. I wrote this so fast I forgot to throw in the Pacers. And the Fever. Thank you comment section. Good shit Indiana.
