Colts buried under avalanche of turnovers in blowout loss

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — The biggest of four turnovers from Matt Ryan came late in the second quarter, setting up a Dallas touchdown when the Indianapolis quarterback had a chance to put the Colts back in front. That was just unacceptable.” Ryan had two touchdown passes when the game was still close, but finished Sunday night as the league’s individual leader in giveaways in a 54-19 loss to Dallas. “We had a chance to get points there.” The first of four Indy turnovers in the fourth quarter wasn’t Ryan’s fault. “When the offense turns the ball over, it’s a collective,” said Campbell, who had four catches for 43 yards while the scoring plays came from Alec Pierce and Ashton Dulin. “You can’t blame one guy.” Ryan led the Colts to a victory in interim coach Jeff Saturday’s debut, but they’ve since lost three in a row under Indy’s two-time All-Pro center, who replaced the fired Frank Reich.
