INDIANAPOLIS -- The end of Sunday's Broncos-Colts game featured the full spectrum of emotions: confusion, heartbreak, reprieve, frustration and, ultimately, elation for the home team.
The Colts stole a 29-28 victory after kicker Spencer Shrader converted a 45-yard field goal with no time remaining, but only after badly missing a 60-yard attempt that was negated by a Denver personal foul moments earlier.
After coach Shane Steichen confoundingly took an conservative approach to his team's final possession -- the Colts never attempted a pass after crossing midfield and let the clock run down while at the Denver 40-yard line -- they lined up for the long field goal.
