Misery Index · Miserable
Colts fans celebrating a 2-0 start while openly begging ownership to fire Steichen before the refs stop bailing him out.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
S.Shrader's 45-yarder as time expired sealed it, but only after W.Lutz clanged a 42-yarder off the right upright moments earlier — a win delivered less by design than by the laws of physics. J.Taylor's 68-yard run set up the go-ahead drive, and C.Bynum's pick of B.Nix kept the door open, yet the fanbase is already cataloguing grievances about the coaching it took to need a doinked field goal in the first place.
