The Indianapolis Colts have been conducting a quarterback competition between Jacob Eason and Sam Ehlinger, but that isn’t the only head-to-head battle that was going down in Indianapolis. Both Rodrigo Blankenship and Eddy Pineiro were fighting to become the Colts’ kicker.
Pineiro made 82% of his kicks with the Chicago Bears during the 2019 season, but he missed all of 2020 with an injury. Did he have enough thunder is leg to compete with the likes of Blankenship, who was coming off a largely impressive rookie season?
