No the Colts went 1 and done, because their defense could not get the job done in the playoffs. Letting Billy Volek drive the length of the field for the winning TD in '07, giving up 167 yds rushing to the Chargers in '08, letting Mark Sanchez drive the length of the field for the winning FG in '10, while giving up 164 rushing yds.
The '05 team did lose their focus, mainly due to the untimely death of Tony Dungy's son. Also a big contributor to the '07 loss was the fact that Freeney and Mathis did not play in that game, due to injuries.
But lets not let facts get in the way here.
