Colts' Execution Falters in Loss to Texans

The Indianapolis Colts suffered a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans, leaving them tied for the AFC South lead with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Quarterback Daniel Jones played with a fractured fibula, completing 14 of 27 passes for 201 yards and 2 TDs, but struggled against the blitz. The teams pass catchers had several drops, and the defense, missing cornerback Sauce Gardner, struggled against the Texans receivers. The pass rush was inconsistent, and coach Shane Steichens decision to receive the ball after winning the coin toss was questioned. The Colts have five critical games remaining and need to improve execution to secure a playoff spot. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
