nah, I think it’s more that not playing a serious game in months will hurt you in the playoffs more than being tired.
the steelers had to play hard up to the last game to even make the playoffs at all. the colts were in cruise control and just couldn’t get in sync. reagular season win streak ftl.
steelers got lucky, colts didn’t even show up. I didn’t think the colts played that spectacularly. ben did well int he first half but the colts showed it’s not tough to shut him down.
