The Indianapolis Colts came into this game as underdogs. In the first half it appeared that everyone had overestimated the Pittsburgh Steelers, or greatly underestimated the Colts. Either way, the first and second half differences continue for our Colts, but it seems the days of great second half play might have passed these Colts by.
Losing both starting tackles just days before the game was a challenge most fans could understand. Most teams would struggle on offense with that kind of hardship against the NFL’s most productive pass rushing unit. What ended up happening was far less about losing two starters and far more about many other things.
