Was Colts’ Shane Steichen too aggressive on fourth down?

The Indianapolis Colts opened the season at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was a closely contested battle until about the last four minutes when the Jags pulled away by facing a gassed Colts’ defense. Coach Shane Steichen left his mark on his first game as an NFL head coach by being very aggressive on fourth down.

The Colts finished the day just 1-of-5 on fourth-down conversions — the five attempts tied the New York Giants for the most — which was an extension of their futility in conversions overall.
