Things showed signs of cracking at first when the Colts lost to the Las Vegas Raiders last season in what was a rather winnable game to secure a playoff spot, but it did not matter that much, as Indy only needed a win against the lowly Jaguars to secure a playoff spot. As we all know, the Colts came out flat and lost 11-26 against the Jags, missing the playoffs after what seemed like once again a valiant comeback after starting the season slow.
That loss stung, and several players went on record to talk about how pissed they were because of that, and how they were working for that to never happen again.
