The 3 weeks of preseason the Colts were 3-0, now after 6 games, the Colts are 2-4. The Colts have won 2 of their last 3 games, and the one loss in between the 2 wins was an overtime defeat. Basically saying the Colts are playing really good football lately.

In their first 3 losses to the Seahawks, Rams, and Titans, the Colts lost by 12 points or less. They put up good scores, losing 28-16, 27-24, and 26-16 according to Score Mobile. 

Over the last 6 games, Carson Wentz has completed 64 percent of his passes, 124/192 for a total of 1,545 yards. Wentz has thrown 9 touchdown passes and 1 interception for a quarterback rating of 54 which is 17th overall. To compare that to the rest of the NFL, the quarterback in first is Matthew Stafford at 75 and in last is Zach Willson at 22.1. 

An NFL article written by Adam Schein, where Schein ranked the top 9 defenses. The Colts ranked 3rd in that list where Schein said,

“I love the Colts defense, led by energetic and smart coordinator Matt Eberflus. The man gets the most out of the defensive talent at his disposal -- and there's plenty of it heading into the 2021 campaign.”

The Colts have playmakers on both sides of the line of scrimmage that will need to make an impact in week 7’s upcoming game against the 49ers in San Francisco.
