When the Indianapolis Colts stepped on the field last week against the New England Patriots, their goal was to show the world that they still were the team to beat in the AFC.
The Colts lost that
game, and now will turn their attention to the San Diego Chargers, who also lost last week in a game that saw the Chargers give up the most rushing yards in one game in the history of the NFL.
San Diego had been playing well until last week as they shook off an early season slump, but now they are back at square one and are in desperate need of a win tonight to stay in the playoff hunt.
The Colts feel they should have won the game last week against the Patriots, and although they did not, they still believe they are the best team in the league, and the only way to prove that is to start another long winning streak, beginning tonight.
This game was touted before the season as one which could have been a preview of the AFC championship game, but with the Chargers struggling, there is no guarantee they will even be in the playoffs.
Game time tonight is set for 8:15 and will be shown nationally on NBC.
