Insider: Disheartening performance by Philip Rivers sinks Colts vs. Jaguars in opener

The Indianapolis Colts still stink in Week 1. For the seventh season in a row, the Colts dropped their season-opener, the latest a mistake-laden disaster in Jacksonville where they fell 27-20 to the lowly Jaguars. There were missed tackles and missed kicks, boneheaded penalties and back-breaking turnovers and, fittingly, the game ended with a dropped a Colts pass.

Perhaps most disheartening for Colts fans was the performance of new quarterback Philip Rivers. While he nearly led them down the field for a game-tying score at the end of the fourth quarter, Hilton dropped his final pass, sealing the game for Jaguars.
