Colts routed 54-19 by Cowboys in prime time

Recapping the Colts’ ugly 54-19 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

The Indianapolis Colts (4-8-1) came out of the prime-time matchup Sunday night with a brutal 54-19 loss against the Dallas Cowboys (9-3) at AT&T Stadium.

It was a game that the Colts weren’t expected to win. They showed plenty of life early on, scoring 10 points in the first quarter. But more self-inflicted wounds and costly mistakes continue to haunt the Colts and keep them from competing for an entire game.

We had ourselves a game as the Colts trailed 21-19 at the end of the third quarter. And then the wheels fell off. The Colts continued to make mistake after mistake, allowing the Cowboys to score 33 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

Here’s our recap of the road loss before entering the bye week:
