Now that the Colts have finally lost, we’re hearing suggestions that maybe this was a blessing in disguise. Now the Colts won’t have to put up with the pressure and media circus that came with the “perfect season” theme. Now, coach Tony Dungy can rest starters and deal with minor injuries strictly on the basis of what’s best for his team rather than worry about a date with NFL immortality.

There’s probably a grain of truth to that suggestion but the benefit of any loss was best sized up by the coach of the 1972 Dolphins. “I once heard Jack Nicklaus say, ‘Nothing ever good comes out of losing,’ ” Shula said. “I like that.”
