The Indianapolis Colts (8-7) came up incredibly short in a 29-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (7-8) on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Entering this game without the services of Michael Pittman Jr. certainly hindered the upside of the offense, but this was one of the worst games the unit put together this season. The offensive line struggled all day in pass protection and failed to get any push in the run game.
Meanwhile, the defense was there simply in spirit from the first drive. The entire unit failed to tackle with any intensity, and some self-inflicted wounds on special teams set the path for a brutal loss on the road.
