The Indianapolis Colts competed, fought, and clawed to pull off the improbable against the Seattle Seahawks, but ultimately fell short, 18-16. After signing Philip Rivers to lead the squad, many believed this would be a disaster - I was essentially one of those people.

Sunday was his first time being active since entering the NFL, just six days shy of a complete calendar year since sustaining the injury.
