Indianapolis Colts Get Banged Up, Fall to 0-4

Not only did the Indianapolis Colts fall to 0-4 with their 24-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, the team also incurred injuries to several difference-making players -- one such injury among the ugliest the sport has seen. The Colts were competitive, but they still have a long way to go in terms of closing … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Get Banged Up, Fall to 0-4
