Misery Index · Miserable
Colts fans cursing Pernas' wheel, the refs, and six turnovers in roughly that order after blowing 7-1.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Downs muffing the opening punt at the IND 11 set the tone, and from there D.Jones spent the afternoon handing the ball to Pittsburgh — a P.Wilson pick, a T.Watt strip-sack, and a J.Sawyer interception that killed any third-quarter pulse. The deep shots to A.Pierce hinted at something workable, but three giveaways in a one-score loss is the kind of math that turns a fanbase from arguing to just venting.
What fans said
“I hate this curse wheel, I hate this curse wheel, I hate this curse wheel, I hate this curse wheel, I hate this curse wheel, I hate this curse wheel.”
