You really have to feel for Jacoby Brissett. For two of the last three seasons, Brissett was the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback.

Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich has no regrets with how he handled the Adam Vinatieri situation throughout the season.

Adam Vinatieri may be a legend, but this season, he has not resembled anything of the sort.
