INDIANAPOLIS --- It’s a gloomy Monday in the Circle City, and not just because it's been overcast and raining all morning. The Colts fell 51-16 Sunday afternoon at Jacksonville to drop to 6-7, with Houston’s Sunday night loss to New England providing little solace for Colts fans, even though Indianapolis still controls whether it wins the AFC South or not.
Four other NFL franchises in recent years were in similar situations late in the season and turned it around:
2008 Arizona Cardinals
From week 12 on, these Cardinals lost 4 of 6 games backing into the playoffs at 9-7.
