Analyzing Colts’ snap counts from Week 17 loss to Giants

The Indianapolis Colts (4-11-1) were on the embarrassing side of a 38-10 loss against the New York Giants (9-6-1) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

The Week 17 defeat marked the sixth loss in a row and their ninth in the last 10 games. The end of the season simply can’t come soon enough as it’s become evident there is no fight left in this team.
