Loss could help Colts
The first line of a published report sums it up very well: "The [Indianapolis] Colts now can turn all of their attention to winning the Super Bowl."
Just hours ago, the San Diego Chargers became the first team to defeat the Colts this season. The loss does not spell disaster for the Colts. It can even be a blessing.
The quest for an undefeated season will no longer be a distraction. While going undefeated is very impressive, every team's goal at the start of the season is winning the Super Bowl. It's all about being the last team standing.
As expected, some members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins are happy about the Colts loss. This is petty and ridiculous. The '72 Dolphins accomplished something special, going 17-0. Why can't they be happy about that, and let other people have their day in the sun?
