Studs and duds from Colts’ 17-16 loss to Commanders

Studs and duds from the Colts’ 17-16 loss to the Commanders.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-4-1) couldn’t hold on to a late fourth-quarter lead, falling 17-16 to the Washington Commanders (4-4) on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

It was another porous outing from the offensive side of the ball. They have failed to score more than 20 points in all but one of their games this season. Though we saw some good things from quarterback Sam Ehlinger in his first career start, it still wasn’t enough to provide a spark.

The defense did its job for the majority of the game until the last drive when they allowed the Commanders to drive down the field 89 yards with just over two minutes left in the game to take the lead.
