A few thoughts on this game

Kickers who miss extra points don’t have much of a shelf life in the NFL. every point is valuable, and you don’t win by leaving them on the field.

The Colts never chased those points in this game, they kicked the extra point after the touchdown that they scored, which was the right thing to do. This game was hardly skewed due to that miss. The Colts failed in crunch-time, and that's why they lost. They were in a position to win for the entire game, they never trailed by more than 7 points, and they didn't come through
