INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts are on top of the AFC South in more ways than one.
The Colts, who have swept the division each of the past two years, have a league-high 10 players on ESPN.com's All-AFC South team.
The Houston Texans had nine players named to the team, which was voted on by the four reporters in the division.
It shouldn't be the surprising that the Colts had the most players named to the team. They haven't lost a game in the division since losing to Houston on Dec. 16, 2012. Indianapolis won its division games by an average of 16.6 points a game last season.
All seven of the Colts' Pro Bowl players made the team.
Quarterback Andrew Luck: He was first in the NFL in touchdown passes (40) and third in passing yards (4,761) and moved ahead of Peyton Manning for most victories (33 to 26), passing yards (12,957 to 12,287), passing touchdowns (86 to 85) and 300-yard passing games (19-11) through the first three seasons in franchise history this season.
TE Coby Fleener: Fleener had 51 receptions for 774 yards and eight touchdowns, all career highs. He also had 16 receptions of at least 20 yards, which was second on the team.
WR T.Y. Hilton: The third-year receiver finished the season with 82 receptions for 1,345 yards and seven touchdowns. Hilton averaged 16.4 yards a reception, sixth in the league.
LT Anthony Castonzo: Castonzo Started every game and played a team-high 1,169 snaps. He was the only player on the line to start every game for the Colts this season.
OLB Erik Walden: With 37 tackles, Walden was second on the team in sacks with 6.0.
ILB D'Qwell Jackson: His 140 tackles was sixth in the NFL. Jackson all had 4.0 sacks, a forced fumbled, four fumble recoveries and a touchdown.
CB Vontae Davis: Davis has become one of the premier cornerbacks in the NFL. He hasn't given up a touchdown pass since against Cincinnati in Week 14 of the 2013 season.
S Mike Adams: He tied for the league lead in takeaways with seven and also had 11 passes defended, two forced fumbles and 87 tackles.
P Pat McAfee: A net average of 42.8 yards per punt ranks McAfee third in the NFL this season. He also had 30 punts inside of the 20-yard line and just three touchbacks. He was named ESPN's Punter of the Year.
K Adam Vinatieri: Vinatieri ended the season 30-of-31 on field goals. He didn't have his first miss until Week 17 of the season and was a perfect 3-of-3 on field goals of at least 50 yards.
Every position was filled with the exception of left guard. I nominated Colts rookie Jack Mewhort because he started 14 out of 16 games this season. I was out voted by my colleagues, who decided we didn't need to put a player there just to have one there because there aren't any other players worthy of making the team.
