The Colts started the 2018 season just like they ended the 2017 season: faltering down the stretch. They lost a big lead to the Bengals. That was the start that Colts fans were dreading after getting Andrew Luck back healthy for the season.
Games continued like that a long stretch of the season. All along, Colts players kept going down like flies. They kept losing key players to injury, and that forced them to play backups who just weren’t good enough to be out there.
But then they started to get healthy. The bye week came at the perfect time for this team, and all those key players started to come back.
