Defensive end's inspired halftime speech registers with Colts, who blank Tampa Bay Buccaneers in second half for 25-12 home victory.
Kendall Langford raised his voice at halftime.
The eighth-year defensive end doesn’t usually do motivational speeches. That he was yelling got the attention of his Indianapolis Colts teammates.
“He cussed us out,” said outside linebacker Robert Mathis.
Langford laughed at Mathis’ summation. Yes, indeed, naughty words were spoken. But what’s said in an NFL locker room stays there.
What happens after players leave that locker room, well, everyone could see.
