Week 8 NFL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus new goals for every team
The Patriots and Saints want to be No. 1. The Bengals and Dolphins want to draft No. 1. What are expectations like in the NFL now, seven weeks in?
Prolific game validates Colts' confidence in Jacoby Brissett
He's more a "game changer" than a "game manager," says teammate Justin Houston. Only three NFL quarterbacks have more TD passes this season.
First-place Colts show they can win with Jacoby Brissett's arm, too
Brissett sets career highs in yards and TDs for the Colts, who don't face another team with a winning record until a Nov. 21 rematch with the Texans.
Colts take AFC South lead with 30-23 victory over Texans

With his four touchdown passes today against Houston, Colts QB Jacoby Brissett has thrown for more touchdown passes - 14 - than he did when he started 15 games during the 2017 season when Andrew Luck was injured.
Mike Wells ESPN Staff Writer
Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton now has 10 touchdown receptions in 15 games against the Texans. That's twice as many touchdown receptions than against any other opponent for Hilton.

The Colts entered the game having success running the ball this season and in the playoffs against Houston last season, but they've used the passing game to pick apart the Texans. QB Jacoby Brissett is 12-of-18 for 161 yards and two touchdowns. The Colts have rushed for just 39 yards on 13 attempts. Texans coach Bill O'Brien said earlier this week that the Colts run a be a “game-plan offense." That's a major credit to Colts coach Frank Reich for his ability to change things up.

Colts fail to covert on fourth down in their own territory. They're now 7 of 8 on fourth down attempts this season.
Mike Wells ESPN Staff Writer
The Colts passed on 9 of their 12 plays on their opening TD drive. That was their 2nd-highest dropback rate on an opening drive this season, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Entering Sunday, the Colts had dropped back to pass on just 50 percent of plays on opening drives, which was tied for the 4th-lowest rate in the league.
