So the Colts were down to their 4th-string quarterback, and they nearly beat the eventually Super Bowl champions on their home-field in Seattle ...... one game is clearly a small sample size, but I believe that it exemplified the fact that the the Colts were a complete, competitive team that was not overly-dependent on an all-world quarterback such as Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck.
If the Colts don't have the same horrible luck in regard to QB injuries this upcoming season, perhaps we can see whether or not they can complete an entire season of being a bonafide conference championship contender for the first time since the 2020 Philip Rivers season.
