Roughly 24 hours after the Colts’ befuddling press conference Monday night, owner Jim Irsay called bkravitz to get a few more things off his chest. “That’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard, that we’re tanking. That’s bulls—t.' Read:

“That’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard, that we’re tanking,” Irsay said. “That’s bulls—. We’re in this thing; 9-7-1 get us in, no question about it. … We’re not tanking the season. Whoever says these things, that we’re not playing Matt because , that’s all bulls—. That’s not true. … We’re going to do what it takes to win. I don’t know who people think we are, they don’t know us. We don’t tank in Indianapolis.”Irsay said Tuesday night that’s not going to be the case moving forward.
“There was never a notion that you wouldn’t go to Nick or Matt later in the season when shoulder is healthy. They’re all available to help us win, bottom line. … It’s always been about whoever can help us win going forward. We’re going with Sam, and if there’s a notion for Jeff to make a change … that’s Jeff’s prerogative, and it was always Frank’s prerogative. It’s wrong to say I mandated it and it’s wrong to say they can’t go to the other guy.
“I’ve seen a lot of potential, a lot of movement,” he said. “We should have won the Commanders game; we let that slip away, up nine at home with 9 to go against someone who hasn’t moved the ball much. Defensively, we had a chance to put the game away. But again, we have the ball with 2 ½ minutes to go and we sit on it instead of being aggressive.
