INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts were 18 minutes away Monday from the type of signature victory they needed to turn around what has been a tough season.
Eighteen minutes. On national television. Against a playoff-caliber opponent.
But then, more than missed field goals happened. The defense made Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson look like more than just an MVP candidate -- they made him look like a Hall of Famer. And Colts coach Frank Reich's play calling didn't help.
Those things took away Carson Wentz’s career game at quarterback, and, more importantly, played a part in the Colts’ 19-point collapse that leaves them trying to piece things back together.
