INDIANAPOLIS - Colts linebacker Robert Mathis, who has missed the past two games with a biceps injury, didnt hold back in voicing his displeasure about the teams loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, which severely hurt the Colts chances of winning the AFC South.Coming back against a team that has what you want in Houston, which is an AFC South title, we cant rise to the occasion. Thats just unacceptable, Mathis said on his weekly show on 1260-AM WNDE in Indianapolis on Tuesday.Im not bashing -- Im just telling the truth. Im the leader and that falls on me. Im the first one the fans should be angry at, he said. If I can take those bullets for my teammates, Im taking them. I have to do better. ... The talent is there.

That didnt happen. They are disappointed and thats fully understood.
