Analysis: Relieved or frustrated about Colts?

The only way the Colts seem to be able to win these days is ugly, and against arguably the NFL's weakest division, the AFC South.

Admit it, this one was tough to watch.

And when Adam Vinatieri ended an exhausting exercise of good fortune with a 27-yard field goal in overtime, only then did Indianapolis Colts fans exhale after Sunday's 16-13 overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium.

That's because even an optimist must come to the realization that this team was lucky to win. NFL teams don't endure when giving the opposing team's kicker two field-goal attempts to beat you late.
