If you attended the Indianapolis Colts‘ mini-camp practice that was open to the public Wednesday evening, you would notice that hanging from the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium read a brand new, crisp banner that read “2014 AFC FINALIST,” per SNF on NBC’s twitter account.
The big deal regarding the hanging of the banner is due to the fact that the Colts were embarrassed by the New England Patriots 45-7 in the 2014 AFC Championship game last January, and many look at it as sort-of a “participation trophy” you could say.
Alright, it’s understandable as to why many would find this move as questionable…laughable.
