On Thursday night, the Indianapolis Colts won a battle for first place in the AFC South, a 27-20 victory over the host Houston Texans that left Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck in tears after the game.
Frankly, it was a performance that should leave Colts fans in tears. Because while the team has been winning the battle during its three-game winning streak over its division brethren, it's losing the war.
The Colts have been exposed, folks. The emperor has no clothes. A team labeled a Super Bowl contender by many entering 2015 is little more than the best squad in the NFL's worst division.
