The Colts led 33-0 at halftime ... and lost. Here's how it happened.
But the Colts defense has been terrible at closing games lately, most notably in a 33-point outburst by the Dallas Cowboys in the last Colts game before the bye week.
That is, until a failed fourth-down attempt on the ensuing drive by Indianapolis gave the Vikings back the ball. Especially after the first half, and even after the loss of superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. Indianapolis dominated on defense and special teams to give the Colts' offense short fields.
Playing against the NFL’s worst pass defense, Ryan was just 18 of 31 for 182 yards, and the Taylor-less running game averaged fewer than 4 yards per carry on 43 attempts, a pedestrian effort that failed to rip off the first downs Indianapolis needed to move the chains. Except that Pittman Jr.’s forward progress had been ruled stopped, so Indianapolis was able to punt, avoiding disaster.
Indianapolis found itself on the receiving end of some questionable calls as well. An unsportsmanlike conduct on Dayo Odeyingbo extended one drive. Personal fouls on Rodney Thomas II and Stephon Gilmore, both questionable calls, cost the Colts. A roughing the passer on DeForest Buckner at the start of the Vikings drive in overtime was also questionable.
