Fast-forward the following video to 56:00 to see the crowd go bananas after the game-winning TD ...... Peyton Manning is rooting as hard as the maniacal fans were on the sidelines.

It's all relative. After we knew that Peyton was out for the year and realized how bad the team was after week 1, we were happy when the Colts were competitive and ecstatic when they won. This Denver team (and the Colts as well) are more like the '01 and '15 Colts teams where the expectations were really high going into the season, but it turned out the team pretty much sucked.
