Their season thus far has been a dumpster fire ...... hopefully, they don't have a "bounce-back" game from these changes.

(7 YEARS LATER)
Lo and behold, Andrew Luck and the Colts lost that game to the Jaguars in northeastern Florida by a score of 6-0.
Not only that, but the Colts went 9-1 over their last 10 games of that 2018 season ...... and guess who that 1 loss came to ??? The Jaguars, on their homefield.
The Jaguars were 3-8 heading into that game, while the Colts were riding a 5-game winning streak ...... the Colts, who were hot as a pistol with a QB who was likely on his way to being an all-time great before injuries curtailed his career, couldn't manage to put a point on the board.
***********************************************************************
So, where are we 7 years later ??? It's only fitting ...... we're in the city of Jacksonville, Fla, and the stakes for the game couldn't be any higher. The Colts, who stormed out to an 8-2 start to the season, lost their last 2 games with their otherwise mobile QB hobbling on a broken leg. Subsequently, they are in a dead heat with the Jaguars with a record of 8-4 atop the AFC South division.
3 months ago, the Colts finally got off of the schneid by winning their Opening Day game after having gone 0-10-1 over the previous 11 seasons in said games ...... can our beloved Colts, with their hobbled quarterback taking the snaps behind the center, wipe away another dark cloud that has been hanging over their heads since they last won there in 2014 ??? Stay tuned, because it certainly will be interesting.
