Colts fans knew that the offense would likely struggle to move the ball against a Jacksonville defense that ranks near the top of the league. However, the Jags were not expected to run up the score on Indianapolis’ defense, especially with Leonard Fournette on the sidelines.
Blake Bortles completed 18 of 26 pass attempts for 330 yards and a touchdown. He threw for an eye-popping 11.8 yards per attempt against a defense that was decimated by injuries throughout the game.
Rashaan Melvin, Malik Hooker, and John Simon all left the game due to injury, and we’ll keep you updated on each of their statuses going forward as we learn more about the extent of their injuries.
