For two quarters, it looked as though the Indianapolis Colts were up to the challenge of taking the Baltimore Ravens down to the wire. Then, the second half took place and fans were served a humble reminder that the offense, which was limited to three points after the first 15 minutes of action, isn’t yet equipped to overcome some of the better defensive units in the NFL.
While the Colts looked as though they didn’t belong on the same field as Baltimore in the second half, one could certainly argue that the turning point of the game came on running back Jonathan Taylor’s fumble at the end of the first quarter, which was returned for a touchdown and tied the score at 7-7.
