The Colts and Titans, according to MSNBC, had communicated prior to their Sunday Night Football game and established ground rules to let the clock run out no matter what. This act is commonly referred to as collusion and the NFL has rules against it, so there could be repercussions for both of the participating teams. The Colts could have called a time out with 25 seconds left and got the ball back to try to win the game but they chose not to spend their time outs.

This whole thing could get real ugly for the NFL if the rabid fan base of the Browns get on it. I expect there to be more rumblings in response to this report. Collusion is not allowed and goes against the bylaws of the NFL. So, if the Browns file a grievance who knows what could happen. But, you can be rest assured this will boil bad blood for the Colts-Browns game scheduled for next season.

I personally don't think anything will happen, but this thing is catching storm on a lot of the major sport sites, so keep checking back here to see whether or not the Browns decide to file a grievance.
