Not all was bad for the Indianapolis Colts in their 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The loss, their 12th of the season, has guaranteed them a top three pick in next spring's NFL draft. At this point in the season, draft positioning outweighs victories for Indianapolis. The Colts, depending on what happens in their season finale against Houston on Dec. 31 and what the New York Giants do in their final two games, could move up to the second spot in the draft.
Despite the season-long struggles, coach Chuck Pagano, as he pointed out earlier in the week, said they were playing to win, not purposely make a youth movement to look toward the future in their final two games.
