Now that the Colts can do that, I think that they can make a deep run.

I agree with this, completely. Even in their 2 best games of the season (against the Packers and against the Titans), the Colts did not play well through-and-through for the entire game.
The good news is that in spite of this glaring flaw, the Colts still found a way to win 11 out of 16 games ...... so the talent/potential is obviously there. They are not over-matched, like the Titans are. They just need to find a way to play well for at least 75-80% of the game, and not just 50-60% of it.
