The Colts headed into Sunday against the New York Jets on a three-game losing streak, a quarterback benching, turmoil starting to build in the locker room and a quarterback earning back his starting spot.  In the words of DeForest Buckner, it was a “gotta have it” game for the Colts where a loss could any hopes of the postseason yet again.  Instead, the Colts rose to the occasion and earned a 28-27 win to put themselves right in the heart of the playoff discussion.  They also got the best performance from Anthony Richardson and some key stops on defense.
