AFC South standings update entering Week 10

The Indianapolis Colts (4-5) were able to end their three-game losing streak with a road victory and now prepare for a trip to Germany as they take on the New England Patriots (2-7) in Week 10.

The leaders in the AFC South will be coming out of the bye week while two of the teams came away with victories. The other team was defeated in prime time, which also pushed them down to the basement of the standings.

Conference record: 3-3
Point Differential: -10

Week 9 result: Win (27-13 at Panthers)
Week 9 recap: The Colts ended their three-game losing streak by taking care of business on the road. It was largely due to the historic game from CB Kenny Moore II, who returned two interceptions for touchdowns while running back Jonathan Taylor took a screen pass for a 10-yard touchdown. Now comes a trip to Germany against the AFC’s worst team.

Week 10: at New England Patriots (2-7)

Point Differential: -12

Week 9 result: Loss (20-16 at Steelers)
Week 9 recap: The Titans have a new starting quarterback in the form of Will Levis, who came back down to Earth in a short week. Still, he showed enough to earn the starting job moving forward while Derrick Henry put together another game with 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Coming up is a road trip to Florida.

Week 10: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5)
