Kenny Moore and Julioan Blackmon spoke out after the game and the comments they made were alarming. The question is, who were they talking about? Has Shane Steichen lost the locker room? Let's talk about it.

The Indianapolis Colts just absolutely embarrassed themselves on SNF against the Vikings. Today is a tough day to be a Colts fan. In a week that was consumed by discussion about the decision to bench Anrhony Richardson, last night’s result adds fuel to a fire that may be impossible to put out now. Shane Steichen looks silly today for starting Joe Flacco - Lets talk about it.

Today we talk about why Colts fans should be giving Steichen CREDIT for benching Richardson, not being torn apart. Enjoy!
