This years Colts vs. last years Steelers
 

Who do you think had a better regular season/was a better team? For the sake of argument, lets say the Colts finish 15-1, same as the Steelers did last year.

Last year, the Steelers had great games against the two Super Bowl teams (destroying both), a dominating defense, and the best rushing attack in the league.

The Colts this year have not played a difficult schedule, but have risen to the occasion against the good teams they have played. They have a good defense and a great offense. Although iirc, the 2 best teams they have played are the Bengals (who have really only beaten Pittsburgh) and Pittsburgh. They obviously lost today to a Heckle and Jyde Chargers team.

for the sake of argument, don't let the AFC championship game last year affect your opinion on Pittsburgh. (this is b /c this Colts team has obviously not had the opportunity to play in the playoffs yet)
