Ass Team Of The Week: The Indianapolis Colts Went Down Like A Bunch Of Chumps
Here are the circumstances under which it is acceptable to lose 6-0 to the Jacksonville Jaguars: The game takes place in 2017 and there is also a foot of snow on the ground.

The comparisons were inevitable, and are not entirely without merit.
