Jacoby Brissett’s second half

No one expected Brissett to step into the role of QB1 and set the world on fire. No one expected him to lead the Colts to the Super Bowl. But with the way the Colts talked about Brissett and the hot start he got off to through the first six games, it was a major shock at how he finished the season.

Brissett had 14 touchdown passes through the team’s first six games. Over his next eight games (excluding the Steelers), Brissett wound up throwing just four touchdown passes. It was a massive regression that was due to a plethora of factors.

Some of those factors included his own play, which proved to be sub-par and could lead the Colts to draft a quarterback. But even those who weren’t as high on Brissett were likely a little taken back at how poorly he played over those final two months of the season.
