The Indianapolis Colts (6-6) are falling further out of the playoff race following the devastating collapse that led to a 31-17 home loss against the Tennessee Titans (7-5) on Sunday.
Now the ninth seed in the AFC playoff race, the Colts are seeing their hopes for the postseason come crashing down. In the loss, the Colts had some bright spots but there were also some concerns that were made known in a big way.
Here is the stock report for the Colts in the Week 13 loss:
Stock up: RB Jordan Wilkins
It seemed the Colts had the temporary replacement for Marlon Mack in the form of Jonathan Williams, who was trying to record his third-consecutive 100-yard game against the Titans. Despite that, he had a very short leash and the Colts weren’t afraid to take him out of the game.
Stepping in for Williams was Wilkins, who has been dealing with some injuries that have kept him off the field. He came back strong to lead the backfield in snaps (44%) while also leading the unit in carries (11) and rushing yards (47).
It wasn’t an extremely explosive day for Wilkins but he showed he was definitely the hot hand in the backfield. It will be interesting to see if this gives him the starter’s role over Williams.
