Colts fans are demanding Ballard's firing and a refs investigation after losing to Davis Mills.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
R.Leonard hit A.Pierce for a 66-yard touchdown on the opening drive and a 53-yard strike down to the HOU 1 in the third, and somehow the night still ended with a K.Fairbairn chip shot sealing it and fans typing Ballard's name into search bars. The D.Hunter strip-sack at the IND 2 and the A.Huzzie interception turned a winnable game into a referendum. Season started 4-1. Nobody in the fanbase wants to talk about that anymore.
What fans said
“Fire him tonight.”
