The Indianapolis Colts are heading into one of the hardest end-of-season stretches in the NFL. After the loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis's first-round playoff hopes are not what they once were. Not only is Indy fighting against the Denver Broncos, but a surprising resurgence in New England has kept the Patriots in the playoff hunt.
While the defense imploded in Week 12, the major issue was Indy's inability to secure a clock-draining offensive drive. Heading into the fourth quarter, Indianapolis held a 20-9 lead, and the Chiefs were struggling to stay on the field.
