Misery Index · Despair
Colts fans burying the season in Jacksonville and already drafting the Ballard firing speech.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Jones throwing a pick to D.Lloyd on the opening drive set the tone, and the game never really uncrooked itself — B.Thomas torched C.Ward deep twice in the first quarter, and a J.Taylor fumble inside the red zone slammed the door before halftime. The 36-19 final almost undersells it. The bigger problem isn't this loss in Jacksonville; it's what the Jones injury means for January, and possibly the two Januarys after that.
