Playoffs? Don't talk to me about playoffs.
So spoke a Colts coach once upon a time, and while I genuinely miss Jim Mora snr. on NFL Network (remember when he was a fixture on there in the early days?), I think the Colts of today have a lot more to be positive about than Peyton's first coach. The Chiefs have been in a downward spiral over the last few weeks and have been exposed offensively. I would expect Indy to come out begging Alex Smith to try and beat them with his arm, because they certainly will expect a big dose of Jamaal Charles right up the gut.
And nobody wants that.
