Colts vets aren't too excited yet

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Indianapolis Colts could look at their AFC South-leading 6-1 record and start thinking playoffs. The veterans know better.
"I can recall a couple years ago when we were 6-2 and all of a sudden we were sitting at .500," offensive tackle Adam Meadows said Monday. "So we've got to play good football and keep getting better."
While the Colts are 6-1 for the first time since 1977, a first-half stretch Indianapolis fans have not enjoyed since the team moved from Baltimore, there are problems.
Coach Tony Dungy emphasized run defense for two weeks, then watched Houston pile up 131 yards rushing and 4.7 yards per carry -- the exact averages the Colts allowed in their first six games.
They also drew another critical personal foul call, turned the ball over and even trailed 14-3 in the first half.
"We don't want to get complacent," linebacker Marcus Washington said. "We've worked hard to get to this point, and we're not going to forget what got us here."
