The Indianapolis Colts were once again one of the best teams in the NFL in 2009 and look to bring similar success to the table in 2010. The Colts have been near the top of the league for years and it is no mystery why.

Peyton Manning is proving to be one of the greatest players to ever play in the NFL. Manning is a good enough player to carry the team through the ups and downs of the season.

Manning has not had a quarterback rating under 95 since 2002 and he has only had one year in his career under 84. That year was his rookie season. He has thrown for more than 4000 years in all but two seasons of his career and has never thrown for less than 26 touchdowns in a season. It is pretty clear what the Colts are going to get from Manning in 2010.

The Colts have always been great on offense. The question each year is whether or not their defense will be tough enough to go deep in the playoffs. One question that will come up is whether or not Dwight Freeney will be able to come back at full strength.

Many remember the issues that Freeney’s ankle had in the playoffs last year. Freeney is one of the best defensive players in the game when he is healthy and makes all of the difference for the Colts on defense. His health will be a key factor for the Colt’s success in 2010.
