PITTSBURGH – Several players declined to talk to the media. Others talked with their heads and voices lowered. Chuck Pagano was short and blunt about things.
“They kicked our ass,” the Indianapolis Colts coach said.
That’s what humility does to you. The Colts strolled into Heinz Field on Sunday night on a three-game winning streak and feeling good about themselves. They left the stadium several hours later staggering after they were thoroughly embarrassed on national television, 45-10.
Sunday was not the end of the season for the Colts, but the thought of feeling like the AFC South is a given is no longer the case.
