Colts hope emotional win helps inspire 2nd half charge

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday understood the low expectations. But after leaving Las Vegas with a win, the first-time NFL coach wasted no time delivering another message on the team flight home — emotions alone won’t get the Colts into the playoffs. “From an emotional perspective, to me, emotion usually runs out about midway through the first quarter.” Somehow, despite a third consecutive turbulent week in Indianapolis, Saturday pushed all the right buttons and the Colts responded with their most complete game all season. Linebacker Zaire Franklin saw Indy meet the challenge last week, and he’s convinced it will continue to make a difference over the final seven games, too. NEXT STEPS Saturday’s coaching career got off to the best start possible — beating another struggling foe while giving fans hope for a turnaround.
