The Colts were “this close,” he said. Holding his index finger and thumb less than an inch away from each other, Philip Rivers tried to explain Saturday night how far away the Colts were from venturing into hostile territory and knocking off the second-seeded Buffalo Bills.
Not very far, was his point.
A missed chip-shot field goal away from a tie score and maybe overtime; a failed fourth-down conversion at the 4-yard line from maybe winning the game outright. Or maybe if Kemoko Turay hadn’t jumped offsides. Or if the Colts hadn’t dropped seven passes. Or …
The list goes on.
