WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Buffalo Wild Wings in West Lafayette was a full house as fans cheered on the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, and in the sea of blue jerseys, there was a lone wolf wearing purple.
"I'm originally from Baltimore," Ravens fan Dan Calder said. "I moved out here for work, so I've got to represent as long as I'm out here."
From Baltimore or not, Calder only had good things to say about the Colts and their rookie quarterback Andrew Luck.
"I like Andrew Luck a lot," Calder said. "I think he's going to go far in the years to come. I think he's done a great job as a rookie. If we lose to them, it will probably be a really good game and they deserve to win it, but it's not going to happen. Baltimore all the way."
A prediction that proved to be true. The Ravens defeated the Colts, but fans said after a whirlwind season just making it to the play offs was a surprise.
"Never thought that they would have this kind of record or that they would be this good," Tom Harrison said. "I am totally shocked."
"It's been amazing," Christy Harrison said. "The whole story's been amazing with Chuck and now with Bruce in the hospital pulling out a win would be huge. "
Even though they didn't get the win, Colts fans said they're still proud of their team.
"No matter what happens today they've done a great job. They should be proud of where they've gotten and I think Colts fans everywhere are very encouraged for the future," Tom Harrison said.
