Indianapolis Colts fans are living in a different world now than even just a few weeks ago. Daniel Jones was once the starting quarterback and was doing a great job running head coach Shane Steichen's system. Running back Jonathan Taylor was seemingly trending toward being a part of the NFL MVP discussion.
No longer. Now, Philip Rivers is the quarterback after coming back from a nearly five-year retirement. Finding immediate success against a very good Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 15 was likely to be difficult. A victory seemed far-fetched as the Colts were also missing defensive stalwarts DeForest Buckner, Charvarius Ward, and Sauce Gardner.
