Remarkably, given the circumstances, everything seemed to be falling into place for the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
With just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans, Adam Vinatieri lined up for a field goal to give his team the lead.
If Colts head coach Frank Reich was hooked to a lie detector, he’d likely admit he gladly would have accepted that scenario at the start of the day.
But things came crashing down in a hurry.
Dane Cruikshank burst through the line to block the 46-yard attempt, and Tye Smith returned the loose ball 63 yards for a touchdown.
