Conference Championships:
Colts @ KC - Lose 13-10
* It was a fantastic run, but the road ended in the AFC Conference Championship. In what was a hard-fought contest on a cold KC field, The Chiefs had a chance, but the Colts were able to hold on for the victory.

This game essentially was a slug-fest throughout and came down to a couple of plays. The Colts, on their own 36 with the game tied at 10 late in the 4th quarter, produced a 52-yard pass from Manning to Garcon with 33-seconds to go. That set them up for a last second (actually :08) field goal to take the 13-10 lead. That was the ball game!

Cassel 16-27 for 171 yards in the air (74.7 rtg), with 1 td and 1 int
Charles 17-36 yards and also caught 3-11 yards
Wade 3-53 yards and Bowe 3-32 yards and 1 td
Frazier 6-2, Merriman 6-2 and D.Johnson 6-1
D.Johnson and Cason both with 1 int

While it would have been fantastic to reach the Super Bowl only a couple of years after taking over the GM duties, I am extremely proud of the team and their performance in 2011. We showed that we were actually quite close two years ago and simply needed to add a few pieces to get to the next level.

I think we have a very strong core, which should bode well for the coming years. The challenge in the off-season will be to re-evaluate everyone that we have on the roster and look to find a way to push us that step further in 2012.

And, on behalf of the team, thanks to all the fans that stayed with us the past couple of years! I do hope you enjoyed this year's run and certainly hope that we can deliver even more for you next season!
