One of those punts that was downed inside the 20-yard line was muffed and recovered by Ashton Dulin.
Sanchez is enjoying another solid season punting for the Colts. He has 14 punts on the season with being downed inside the 20-yard line. He also hasn’t recorded a touchback through the first four games of the season.
The 2020 Ed Block Courage Award recipient after battling a cancerous tumor, Sanchez continues to be a weapon for the Colts on special teams.
