The Indianapolis Colts came into Sunday night's road matchup with the Dallas Cowboys as heavy underdogs, and by the time the final clock hit 0:00, there was no question as to why.

To their credit, the Colts did hold things together and trailed by just two points through three quarters before the Cowboys walloped them in the final period, pouring on 33 unanswered points and coming out victorious, 54-19.

Here are my main takeaways from the evening.

Sep 18, 2022; Jacksonville, Florida, USA; Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Travon Walker (44) is blocked by Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Matt Pryor (69) in the second quarter at TIAA Bank Field.

Dec 4, 2022; Arlington, Texas, USA; Indianapolis Colts cornerback Stephon Gilmore (5) returns an interception as linebacker E.J. Speed (45) looks to make a block in the second quarter against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
Dec 4, 2022; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys safety Malik Hooker (28) recovers a fumble and runs it back for a touchdown during the fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts at AT&T Stadium.

The Colts now head into a much-needed bye week in Week 14.
