Colts continue prime-time flops with disastrous 4th quarter

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Colts owner Jim Irsay lobbied the NFL schedule-makers for more night games. From the ugly October overtime win at Denver to last Monday night’s fourth-quarter collapse against Pittsburgh to Sunday night’s disastrous fourth quarter in Dallas, not much has gone right on the NFL’s most visible stage. “I haven’t been involved in many losses in general, but definitely not like this,” interim coach Jeff Saturday said shortly after the game. “I think we went four possessions in a row with a. You’re not going to beat anybody in the NFL, but you’re dang sure not going to beat a good football team that way.” The Colts haven’t beaten many good teams this season. Then Dallas converted four turnovers into four fourth-quarter touchdowns including a fumble return for a TD by former Colts safety Malik Hooker, turning what had been a 21-19 contest into such a lopsided affair Indy quarterback Matt Ryan ended the game by taking a knee.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Indianapolis Colts were struggling mightily on offense last season when owner Jim Irsay decided to fire coach Frank Reich in the middle of his fifth season. “It stings a lot when you lose three games, especially the way it’s been going,” Colts defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis said.

That afternoon was like nothing Jim Irsay had experienced across his five-decade run in professional football. After Philip Rivers’ successful one-year stint in 2020, the owner wanted to find the team’s next quarterback in the draft, and in Irsay’s words, “grow our own.” But head coach Frank Reich wanted Wentz, convinced he could salvage the former No. “But I was …

DENVER — Matt Ryan kept the faith through all the sacks, interceptions, fumbles and three-and-outs that made for a streaming snooze-fest Thursday night. “It was just kind of a slog of a game,” the Indianapolis quarterback said after Stephon Gilmore batted away Russell Wilson’s pass to Courtland Sutton in the end zone on fourth-and-1 from the 5 to give the …
