The Indianapolis Colts dropped their Week 5 matchup to the Jacksonville Jaguars to fall to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the division, which is also very noteworthy.
Outside of forcing two takeaways, not a lot went right defensively for the Colts. There were missed tackles and assignments that resulted in three explosive plays for the Jaguars that put 21 points on the board.
Dealing with injuries up front, the pass rush struggled mightily , giving Trevor Lawrence all the time he needed to put together a very efficient performance against a Colts secondary that is also dealing with injuries.
The offense, meanwhile, would put up 34 points and over 400 total yards, led by the play of Joe Flacco and Alec Pierce. However, a conservative game-plan also left the offense stagnant for a large portion of the game .
This upcoming week the Colts will look to rebound as they travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans. But first, even with the loss, let’s take a look back at some of the best photos from Sunday’s game.
