They ran the damn ball, that’s for sure. But they didn’t pass the damn ball. They didn’t pass it with any downfield efficiency at all, and that’s why the Colts came up short 20-17. It brings up some questions about the future of this team as well.
Jacoby Brissett was efficient, completing 64% of his passes. But he was never a threat to throw the ball down the field. He had 16 completions for only 129 yards. The Colts had zero plays that went for 20 yards or more, and the passing game is a large reason for that.
