The 2017 Colts are the ONLY team in the last 27 years to lose at least 7 games which they led at halftime.

The 2017 Colts are the ONLY team in the last 20 years to hold a lead entering the 4th quarter in at least 9 games, but win no more than 4 games.

Last year, a total of five teams held a lead entering the 4th quarter in 9 games. Every team posted a winning record (aside from the Colts):
Jaguars (10 wins)
Chiefs (10 wins)
Falcons (10 wins)
Chargers (9 wins)
Colts (4 wins)

In their first 11 games of the season, the Colts led entering the 4th quarter in 8 games. The only two teams that led entering the 4th quarter more than 8 games (through 11) were the Super Bowl Champion Eagles and the Super Bowl runner-up Patriots.
There is a lot of breakdown of the why in the post, worthwhile read. It is all stuff we saw with our eyes and bitched about in posts, but seeing a statistical analysis of it is interesting. Show just how bad Clappy and crew were, fuck those guys.
