That's not necessarily true, at all. Middle-of-the-pack teams don't go 11-5, and barely lose a playoff game to a top-flight team like the 2020 Bills. NFL history is loaded with very good, even sometimes great teams that have lost in the post-season, from the 1998 Vikings to the 1976 Steelers to the 2005 Colts to the 1968 Colts, and many more. All of those teams lost in the post-season, and nobody in their right mind would say that they were middle-of-the-pack teams because of it. So barely losing to the Bills in the playoffs doesn't necessarily relegate the Colts to a middle-of-the-pack team, as you assert.
