Colts raise “AFC Finalist” banner

I thought the headline was from The Onion, and that the image was the product of fairly rudimentary PhotoShop skills.

I was wrong on both counts.

The Colts have placed in the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium a banner that declares them “2014 AFC Finalist.”

While technically accurate, it’s not the typical cause for permanent celebration in a sport that values championships. The Colts didn’t win one last year, other than the AFC South crown.

Making the gesture even more curious is the team’s direct role in sparking the #DeflateGate controversy. But as noted by TheIndyChannel.
