Colts focused on playoffs as Jags look to future in Week 17

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Colts coach Frank Reich made one thing perfectly clear this week. No scoreboard watching allowed Sunday.
Sure, he knows Indianapolis needs help to make the playoffs. And yes, he realizes the results from three of the four other key games could be in before kickoff. Still, he wants his players to focus on the one thing they can control: beating Jacksonville.
“The relevant scores will not be up on the scoreboard,” Reich said after discussing the options with general manager Chris Ballard. “It’s a potential distraction. Maybe it’s not to all guys, but if it’s a distraction to one guy that’s one guy too many. It’s just better not to have them up there.”
