Wish it had a happier final chapter
The lowlight?
The 2005 playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was the Colts’ best team, and the most excruciating loss.
“The next season, I made the Steelers angry by saying the Steelers didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves,” Mudd said. “The truth? Our leader (Tony Dungy, who had recently lost his son) was a broken man. Look at that. For us to make all those mistakes, the kinds of mistakes we never made during the season, it was completely out of character. . . . It’s called grief. That’s my feeling. Of course, I can’t say for sure (that’s why the Colts lost), but if you don’t look at that, I don’t think you’re looking at it realistically. What happened before and after, give me another game when we looked so out of it.”
