The AFC championship is on the line, and neither participant has time for fun and games.
That Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have put up their blinders to focus on the task at hand is no surprise, but apparently the Indianapolis Colts are following suit. Well, their website is, at least.

Hoping to check out some player bios or do some shopping on the team store? Not any more, you weren’t. The Colts want all of your focus on Sunday’s game, so they completely shut down their website in favor of a short inspirational video featuring several Indianapolis players.
Either that or they had a site malfunction and are just trying to cover it up.
For the record, Indy’s website also shut down for “#BlueFriday” before its AFC divisional-round playoff game, and it paid off in a 24-13 upset of the Denver Broncos. Promotional videos aren’t uncommon, either, as the Patriots have a short pump-up film on their website as well.
Yet New England’s website still is fully functional, or, as Belichick might say, doing its job.
