INDIANAPOLIS — Think the Indianapolis Colts have nothing to play for on Sunday?
Think again.
Sure, the team was officially eliminated from postseason contention last week, when the Houston Texans earned the AFC South Division crown for a second straight season, but for each player on the 46-man active roster Sunday, when the Colts take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, the game serves as a final opportunity to gain some positive momentum heading into the offseason.
That’s how Colts general manager Ryan Grigson views Sunday’s game, at least.
For Grigson, the game against the Jaguars is the first time in his five seasons with the organization that the Colts aren’t at least in contention for a spot in the playoffs.
