Colts blow big lead, playoff hopes go up in smoke

It was a shootout from the very beginning. The Colts scored 10 points in the first quarter, and Tampa scored 14. It was a 27-21 lead for Indy at half. In fact, they got it up to 35-21 at one point. Then they gave up 17 unanswered points and lost the game.

This team has lost its fight. They’ve now lost five of their last six games and have bowed out of the playoff talks with a whimper. It would take a certified miracle for them to get in at this point. Even if they did, does anyone want that?
