Misery Index · Uneasy
Colts fans took the division win over Houston and immediately spent it all cursing out A.Al-Shaair.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
S.Shrader's 53-yarder with 21 seconds left saved a game that D.Jones spent the fourth quarter actively trying to give away, coughing up two fumbles to W.Anderson alone. A win is a win, and beating Houston will always play in this fanbase, but the offensive line getting bulldozed by a single edge rusher is not the kind of problem that fixes itself by Week 4. Free nuggets don't cover the film review.
