Tyler Warren, Jonathan Taylor, and Michael Pittman all scored touchdowns in the first half as the Indianapolis Colts built up and 20-3 halftime lead over the Las Vegas Raiders. Laiatu Latu had an interception, and DeForest Buckner had a sack. Those were all big plays made by big-time players.
But one of the reasons Indy has been so good this year, and one of the reasons there is great hope for the future, is that Shane Steichen is also getting big plays from his no-names. The guys on the bench. Some of whom were not at all sure they’d even be playing football this year.
