Talent gets wasted far too often and this current iteration of Indianapolis Colts football — from the rookies to the core captains — have three opportunities to prove it’s more than just potential.
The Colts (6-8) have yet to play complementary football in all three phases during a single outing this season. When the offense played lights out, the defense got torched with explosive plays. When the defense creates turnovers, the offense seems incapable of sustaining drives, which leave them hanging on the gridiron and forced to get another stop. Last Sunday, second-year head coach Shane Steichen derived from his team’s identity and played right into the opponent’s game plan.
