This season is crazy ......

The 1968 Colts had 186 points through 6 games.

1967 Colts had 185 points through 6 games.

Both of those teams only lost 1 regular-season game, and the 1967 Colts did not even make the playoffs because Pete Rozelle was a moron.

Considering the rules at that time, which included being allowed to continually bump a receiver as many times as you wanted before the ball was in the air, those 1967 and 1968 teams were probably among the best offenses ever ...... the upset loss to the Jets in the 1968 Super Bowl was astounding, and the missing of the playoffs in 1967 was arguably one of the biggest injustices in pro football history.

IMO, the 1967 team was superior to the 1968 team, if only because that was the last season of the Johnny U dominance.
