by Kent Sterling If at this time yesterday, you put together a list of the top 10 reasons the Indianapolis Colts are 3-5 halfway through what was expected to be a season that ended in a Super Bowl, offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton’s work would not have been one of them. At least I don’t think […]
