Originally, the Indianapolis Colts Week 18 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars was to be determined. However, on Sunday, the NFL set the date and time for this game.
There once again will be a few games taking place on Saturday, but the Colts wont’ be included. Instead, as has been the case for the majority of the season, kickoff will be at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday.
The season finale for both teams will be aired on FOX and at Lucas Oil Stadium, with the Colts closing out the year at home.
Unfortunately, there is nothing for Indianapolis to play for in this game. After getting help from the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17, who defeated the Denver Broncos which helped keep the Colts’ playoff hopes alive, Indianapolis forgot to take care of their own business on Sunday.
Against a then two-win Giants team who was averaging just over 14 points per game and riding a 10 game losing streak, the Colts surrendered 45 points. And while the Indianapolis offense found their share of success, they had too many missed opportunities of their own that came back to bite them.
As Pat McAfee laid out on social media following the team’s devastating loss, the issues that the Colts are facing right now go well beyond the performance on the field.
Given the circumstances and the opponent they were playing, the Colts’ put together an unacceptable performance, and it’s not the first time in recent memory that this has happened.
