Every team in the AFC South is 2-2 and among those teams the Colts have the worst point differential and it shows.

With Darius Leonard out, the defense was completely outmatched in the run game for a lot of the game and when their own run game wasn’t working they were in trouble.

Jacoby Brissett always puts up solid numbers and he did that again this week, but he also had a pick-six that ultimately killed any chance the Colts had of making a comeback.

The Colts need a lot of things to go right to win a game and with outstanding coaching, they do a good job of making those things happen. However, when they get punched in the mouth it takes them a little too long to recover and a mistake can cost them.

I was too low on the Colts before the season, but I think the narrative swung a little too far the other way after last week.
