Assessing Chances Indianapolis Colts Lose Each Remaining Game, Finish 0-16

The Indianapolis Colts put up a surprisingly good fight Sunday, but in the end they came out on the same side as every game they've played so far this season, losing to the New England Patriots 31-24.

The Colts now sit at 0-12, and with four games to play, let's take a week-by-week look at the chances that the Colts join the 2008 Detroit Lions atop Mount Futility by assembling a perfectly putrid 0-16 record.

1. Week 14: At Baltimore

The Ravens are in a dogfight with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North, still in the hunt for the best record in the conference, and have one of the most feared defenses in the NFL.

I'd wager Dan Orlovsky doesn't throw for over 300 yards in this one like he did against the Patriots, and the Colts will likely get throttled.

0-13

2. Week 15: Tennessee

Running back Chris Johnson has been running much more like the superstar he's been over the past two seasons and less like the disappointment he was earlier this year, and behind his resurgent play the Tennessee Titans have won three out of four and gotten themselves back into the playoff hunt in the AFC.

The Colts rank 31st in the National Football League in run defense, and that doesn't bode well headed into a matchup with CJ2K.

0-14

3. Week 16: Houston

Even after losing starting quarterback Matt Schaub for the season and then losing his backup, Matt Leinart, to a season-ending injury of his own, the Houston Texans keep chugging along, riding a strong ground game and stout defense to six straight victories and the driver's seat in the AFC South.

Texans running back Arian Foster vs. the Colts' tissue paper defense? Um, yeah.

0-15

4. Week 17: At Jacksonville

This could be it! For all the marbles! The Toilet Bowl!

A lousy Jacksonville Jaguars team with an interim coach and a rookie quarterback faces off against an even worse Indianapolis Colts team with a lame duck coach and Dan Orlovsky at quarterback.

However, the Jags have running back Maurice Jones-Drew and half a defense, while the Colts have, well, I'll tell you what the Colts have...Andrew Luck.

0-16!!!
