In my rat's ass of an opinion, the Patriots and the Colts are the 2 best teams in the AFC. The Patriots have the record to show for it, the Colts have the ability but not the record.
Before the season started, I predicted that these 2 teams would meet in the 2021 AFC Championship game ........ but the Colts must win this game in order for that scenario to have a realistic chance of coming to fruition. Falling to 7-7 and losing to yet another good team will unquestionably have the Colts on the outside looking in, needing to win all of their 3 remaining games and hoping like crazy for a lot of help. On the other hand, a win over the Patriots will have them sitting fairly pretty at 8-6 overall with a 2nd signature win of the 2021 season (the 1st was the win over the Bills.)

Regardless of what just happened with the Bills and the Bengals both losing to NFC teams, our season is going to come down to the game against the Patriots.
All season long, we have been like a cat chasing its tail, just a step behind where we need to be in both individual games as well as in the standings ...... and if we lose to the Patriots, it will be more of the same.
So we can scoreboard watch and root against other AFC-contending teams all we want ...... if we lose to the Patriots, it will be just one more example of us being a small step too slow to be regarded as a bona-fide contender for a conference championship.
