INDIANAPOLIS -- Don't be surprised if the Denver Broncos have a slight case of indigestion on Monday morning, but breakfast won't be the culprit.

Instead, the Broncos (1-1) will be dealing with the aftermath of their self-inflicted, fourth-quarter meltdown on Sunday afternoon, which turned what looked like a great escape in Lucas Oil Stadium into a disheartening 29-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on the game's final play. In the time it took for Colts kicker Spencer Shrader's 45-yard game-winner to sail between the uprights, the Broncos watched much of the goodwill from their season-opening win over the Tennessee Titans evaporate.
