I don't expect them to go very far in the playoffs but maybe they surprise being so young and all.... maybe they might wish they hadn't spent so much effort in defeating the Texans.... just a thought...

Every situation is different and this one was particularly unique. Even being locked into a 5 seed, the Colts were a team with a head coach coming back from cancer treatment and a starting QB making his 16th career start. Both from an emotion and reps stanpoint, it made sense to play this one. Also, with the texans playing for a No. 1 seed, the colts basically just got a great playoff primer for their young and inexperienced team. Why would they not take advantage of that?
