Report: Colts owner, GM involved in 'heated conversation' after loss

Tempers reportedly flared between owner Jim Irsay and GM Ryan Grigson after the Colts' latest loss.

Last week, the Colts ran a fake-punt so hilariously awful that it overshadowed the fact that they hung with the unbeaten Patriots for four quarters. This week, the Colts fell into a 27-point hole to the Saints before nearly climbing out of that hole with a miraculous comeback. Regardless, both games resulted in losses for the 3-4 Colts and, now, emotions could be boiling over.

According to Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star, Colts owner Jim Irsay and general manager Ryan Grigson got into a "heated conversation" in the locker room following Sunday's loss.

Really, both don't have anything to be happy about. The Colts are below .500. Their franchise quarterback, Andrew Luck, has turned into an interception machine. Since drafting Luck, the Colts are 17-17 against non-AFC South foes. The Colts, once thought of as Super Bowl contenders, don't look like a legitimate threat to any of the current powerhouses.

There is room to be optimistic, though. And that's because of the AFC South, which doesn't feature a team over .500.

Unfortunately for the Colts, the schedule isn't looking very promising, as they have five consecutive non-division games on the horizon.
