Bill Speros writes: “Speaking of potential playoff previews . . . the AFC South-leading Colts (5-1) and AFC West-leading Chargers (4-2) rest above the postseason Mendoza line. For now. Daniel Jones (like Baker Mayfield) continues to amaze after being discarded in a previous life. Both teams survived sloppy performances Sunday. The Chargers needed a last-minute drive to escape from Miami with a 29-27 win. The Colts find some running room against the Chargers defense this week. And that opens things up for Indiana Jones/Danny Dollars.”

Sportsnaut: Indianapolis Colts 24, Los Angeles Chargers 17
Matt Johnson writes: “The Los Angeles Chargers have two big problems in this Week 7 draw versus the Indianapolis Colts. First, opponents have averaged 144.8 rush ypg and 5.2 yards per carry against Los Angeles in the last four games. Second, the Chargers’ defense really struggles at generating pressure without Khalil Mack. Those two issues together are a recipe for a loss to Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor, especially given how dominant the Colts’ offensive line has been this season.”
