Go back to 2004. Indy was still a sissy team with zero playoff toughness and Pitt barely beat NYJ at home in the divisional. Roeth was brutal.
07 JAX played the Pats TOUGH in the div and beat Pitt on the road the prior week.
07 SD beats the defending SB champ on the road with Michael Turner filling in. SD was not a pushover.
The Colts had beaten Denver in the wild card round 49-24. They were 12-4, would've been 13-3 if they didn't tank the final regular season game. And IIRC they were favored to beat us on our field in the divisional round. Their offense is among the best in NFL history.
SD wasn't a pushover but beating them at home is alot easier than walking into Heinz field to face a 15-1 team.
