Are the Indianapolis Colts playing today? NFL Week 11 schedule, matchups, teams on a bye

When the NFL schedule came out,Indianapolis Coltsfans likely had their eye on the bye week.

It would be the one week without Colts football, a necessary break during what figured to be a long season of losing. Instead, it has been quite the opposite through 10 weeks.

The Colts are 8-2 and tied for the best record in the league.Daniel Joneshas been unironically in the MVP discussion all season long andJonathan Taylorseems to begin every game with at least two touchdowns.

Sports often surprise, but rarely to the level of this Colts season.

While they haven't been as dominant in recent weeks, Indianapolis continues to win. They are locked and loaded for a playoff run, hoping that road extends all the way to February.

Here's what to know about Week 11.

Week 1: Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (18) makes a catch for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field. The play was originally ruled an incomplete pass, but the call was overturned. Despite TeSlaa's effort, the Packers won the game 27-13.
