Colts hoping to find success at Jacksonville after loss to Titans

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the NFL's best road teams throughout Tony Dungy's five years as coach.\nRecently, though, the Colts have looked more like a typical NFL team, struggling in losses at Dallas and Tennessee.\nSo the Colts spent this week looking to rekindle their winning formula before Sunday's divisional matchup on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars.\n"We've just not played well in those games," cornerback Nick Harper said Thursday. "When you watch the film, it's sad to see. It's not as bad as it looks -- it's just one or two guys being one or two steps off. We've got to get better at that."\nSince Dungy arrived in 2002, the Colts have posted a 28-10 record outside the cozy RCA Dome, far better than the .500 road record most teams aspire to.\nBut the losses at Dallas and Tennessee exposed problems that Indianapolis (10-2) has normally avoided.\nIn those two games, the Colts combined for an uncharacteristically high total of six turnovers and 13 penalties. Even more perplexing was the high number of false starts and offsides penalties, which Dungy attributes to a lack of concentration.\nNow fans are wondering what's wrong, and many offer their opinions on radio talk shows.\nColts players have a different perspective.\n"We've certainly had our share of mistakes, and that makes it harder than it actually is," two-time MVP quarterback Peyton Manning said. "It comes down to execution."\nDungy believes the solution is simple.\nHe challenged his team this week to pay more attention to details, emphasized fundamentals and focused on eliminating the mistakes.\nAnd, of course, a second straight AFC South-clinching win Sunday in Jacksonville could be the remedy the Colts need.\n"We had a good stretch where we didn't self-destruct and now we've done that two times in the last three weeks," Dungy said Monday. "We've got to get it fixed."\nWhat will it take to get the Colts righted? Harper believes it's all about attitude.\n"I think when you're going into someone's backyard, it's almost like you have to be a bully and beat up on them," Harper said. "I think our guys feed off that adrenaline and it does make a difference. That's what we have to do"
