3 Colts who underachieved the most in 2019

These Colts failed to live up to expectations in 2019.

The Indianapolis Colts season didn’t go as planned. After a strong 5-2 start, they lost five of their last seven to finish 7-9 and miss the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.

While a lot went into the disappointing season, there were a few players that didn’t meet expectations in a big way.

Here are three Colts who underachieved the most in 2019:

QB Jacoby Brissett

Thrust into the starting job after the sudden retirement of Andrew Luck in late-August, Brissett had a strong start to his 2019 campaign, but his play fell off at the end of 2019.

A lot of factors went into Brissett being an underachiever in 2019—the Week 9 injury against Pittsburgh, the lack of production from the receivers and injuries all around.

One thing Brissett did have was a consistent run offense that finished top-10 in the NFL, and a defense that was around top-10 until the final month of the season.

Looking at Brissett’s raw stats and he finished 26th in completion percentage, 27th in pass yards, 26th in pass touchdowns, 20th in QBR and 18th in QB rating. Those simply won’t get it done in the NFL. Even so, Brissett could have the 2020 campaign to make his case to be a long-term quarterback.
