The Indianapolis Colts faced a tough defeat against the Detroit Lions, losing 24-6 and showcasing significant self-inflicted errors. The offensive line's five penalties and a high pressure rate hindered their performance, while tight ends struggled with dropped passes.

This loss dropped the Colts in the Week 13 ESPN NFL power rankings from 19th to 21st, reflecting their struggles against stronger teams. With only one win against a team with a winning record, the Colts are now viewed as a bottom-third team in the league.

As they prepare to face the New England Patriots, the Colts aim to improve their rankings and regain momentum before their bye week.
