NASHVILLE – Call it The Great Escape.
The Indianapolis Colts did what they could Sunday, keeping the door open, refusing to step on the necks of the Tennessee Titans. Penalties? Plenty. Dumb mistakes? A boatload. Bad football? Lots of that, too.
What could have been an enjoyable afternoon in the Music City went down the wire. It’s nothing new. Each of this team’s seven games this season have come down to the fourth quarter.
This time, Jack Doyle saved them.
Then T.Y. McGill finished.
Jack. Freaking. Doyle.
T.Y. Freaking. McGill.
Doyle, the once-third string tight end, thrust into the starting role due to injuries, made the biggest catch of the Colts’ 2016 season Sunday, snaring a seven-yard Andrew Luck touchdown pass with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
