Kuharsky says Indy expects to do this
A victory over the Broncos will bring the Colts closer to their goals of a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs as well. When they have those, odds are they will let up, and when they let up, odds are they will lose and the streak will crack.
Saturday didn’t indicate Manning will be accepting of that.
But he’s not so sure about the streak as it stands anyway.
“For me the playoff loss breaks it up,” he said pointing back to the San Diego Chargers‘ elimination of the Colts in January. “I don’t know. However the statisticians do it. You lose in San Diego and that’s really why you play the game, right? To win in the playoffs? So I don’t look at it really like that . . .
“It’s great when you hear it. It’s really not a goal that we set.”
Caldwell said his Colts probably will make mention of it when they gather on Wednesday, and maybe take a minute to appreciate it before they go quietly back to work.
“I think I’ve used this before, I think I stole it from somebody, but it’s without unmitigated pleasure,” he said. “The guys enjoy it, they like it, but it’s not something that goes to their head. I think they are starting to believe a bit like I do in the sense that we’ll tally them up when the season’s over. We’ve still got a lot of work to do.”
