Despite a near-comeback in the fourth quarter, Sunday was a dark day for the Indianapolis Colts.
Losing to a bad New Orleans Saints team is one thing. Falling behind 27-0 because the team is unprepared and not ready to play is another.
The Colts were, in short, embarrassed on Sunday, whether the final score of 21-27 looks all that embarrassing or not. The team with the worst defense in the league marched into Indianapolis and held Andrew Luck and the offense scoreless through two-and-a-half quarters. They ran a fake field goal to perfection, a relentless reminder of the Colts' disastrous fake punt attempt in Week 6.
