Jake's Takes | Colts Fumble Their Way to Loss vs. Steelers
The Indianapolis Colts are a confusing, frustrating team to watch.
While playing on their home field of Lucas Oil Stadium in front of a nationally-televised, Monday Night Football audience, the Colts (4-7-1) couldn't overcome their own issues or the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-7) in their 24-17 loss.
After a completely anemic performance by the offense through the first half, the 13-point hole that the Colts faced heading into the locker room appeared insurmountable. However, in the second half, they found just enough spark and were given enough breaks to make things interesting and briefly take the lead, but ultimately fell short.
Here are my main takeaways from the evening.
Things get much, much more difficult for the Colts next week again on national television as they travel south to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, who boast the second-ranked scoring defense and seventh-ranked scoring offense.
