Having won at least 12 games in each of the last seven seasons, the Indianapolis Colts have become accustomed to success, especially early in the season. In 2009, the club roared out of the gate and remaining undefeated through 14 games before dropping their final two regular-season contests as they rested key starters.
Having addressed most of their roster concerns during the offseason, there's really no reason to believe that success won't continue into 2010 as the Colts once again enter the season as Super Bowl contenders.
Perhaps the Colts' biggest concern entering the season is their run game, which was last in the league last year with just 80.9 yards per game. Considering the potency of their passing attack, it's not a huge concern. After all they were able to make it all the way to Super Bowl XLIV back in February. But there are times in the NFL when you need to be able to run the football.
All in all, though, this is still one of the league's elite teams heading into the season.
