Indianapolis Colts' Playoff Hopes Come to a Realistic, Fitting End in Loss

Sure, the Colts still have a mathematical chance to get into the playoffs, but realistically, they are better off setting their sights on next season after an embarrassing 16-10 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Embarrassing.

That's the word that describes most of the Colts' season, especially what's gone on over the last three weeks.

Against competent quarterbacks, the Colts were blown out in Weeks 13 and 14, being outscored 96-26 and outclassed in all three phases.

Against the T.J. Yates and Brandon Weeden-led Texans, the team participated in the ugliest game since its 16-13 overtime win against Jacksonville in Week 4.
