Ravens are the closest teams in the AFC imo, not the colts. Colts have the best QB but Ravens have a good QB (is Joe Flacco elite tho?) and good coaching. A slightly better secondary and it's the Ravens exposing the colts in the AFCCG and heading to the superbowl. And they are the one other team in the AFC that I think actually has a decent QB and the mental resilience you need to play 60 minutes against Seattle.
I don't really think the Colts are any closer to winning a superbowl than like the Bills are. The only difference is a great QB and horrific D will carry you to 10+ wins in the regular season before you get blown out in the playoffs but a great D and horrific QB will only get you to about 500 and maybe a prayer at the playoffs every 3rd year or so.
