The Colts (12-0) in December 2005 faced the same situation they face Sunday against the Denver Broncos (8-4) at Lucas Oil Stadium. If the Colts win, they clinch not only a first-round bye, but the AFC’s No. 1 seed, which will mean homefield advantage as long as they play in the postseason.
The Colts that day in December of 2005 played one of their most complete games of a regular season filled with very complete games, taking a 26-3 lead over a very good, very motivated, very confident Jacksonville team on the road before winning, 26-17.
You got the idea that gray day by the St. Johns River you were watching an elite team, an all-time great team. No one knew then it would their last complete game of that season.
