The hardest parts of the Colts schedule
A schedule is more than a list of opponents. Travel and rest decide a lot of games, and most schedule pages leave them out. Here is what stands out for the Colts.
- Longest road run: 2 games in a row away from home, from Week 7 to Week 8 (at Minnesota Vikings, at Jacksonville Jaguars).
- Short week: only 4 days between Week 10 (vs Miami Dolphins) and Week 11 (at Houston Texans).
- Late division games: Week 15 at Tennessee Titans; Week 18 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars. These often decide the division title.
- Bye timing: the Week 13 bye leaves 5 games after the break.
