Ebron certainly got his chances to make a play
It’s pretty obvious to say this season hasn’t been the best for tight end Eric Ebron. After resurrecting his career with the Colts last season, at the tune of 13 receiving touchdowns and a Pro Bowl selection, Ebron is back to facing those same struggles that plagued him in Detroit and it reached a breaking point earlier this week.
Following Ebron’s decision to publicly express his displeasure with his role inside the Colts’ offense, he saw the benefits of his actions on Sunday via 12 targets. But the problem? The former Pro Bowler only caught five of those passes and routinely struggled with getting open against the Dolphins, as he also finished with 56 receiving yards.
One play in particular, that defines Ebron’s struggles, is his dropped touchdown catch which turned into an interception during the first quarter. Dolphins safety Steven Parker ripped the ball away from Ebron as he fell to the ground in the end zone, eliminating a touchdown for the Colts.
