The only teams to beat the Colts in the RCA dome in a meaningful game over the last 3 years are the Pats this year and the Steelers in the 2005 playoffs. Both games went down to the wire, and both victors are/were Super Bowl champs.
The Chiefs got closer than anyone else over the last 3 years, even though we were playing a QB in first game, our only good receiver is a rookie, and the right side of the offensive line is amongst the worst in NFL history. We were widely picked to win about 4 games this year.
The Colts get 2-3 interceptions / strip sacks at home in virtually all games. Check the boxscores. We held them to 1 in this game, and we had a chance. If we aired it out, there would have been more turnovers and we would not have had a chance. The percentages are very clear on this.
