    It is a debate Colts fans are too familiar with, but hardly one they thought they would be having in 2012. When facing a meaningless regular season game, should the team rest its starters with the postseason in mind or play to win? This is the decision returning head coach [...]

    Thanks to timely quarterback play, the Colts prevailed in spite of turnovers, a porous offensive line, and a shaky defense.  On its own, this statement could either describe the team’s 35-33 win over the Lions on Sunday, or its 2012 season in general.
