The Colts struggled Thursday night in the passing game against Houston. Part of that was good defense from the Texans and part of it was a lack of opening the playbook up. They didn’t try to throw the ball down the field at all. That needs to change.
Jacoby Brissett has a strong arm and the Colts need to use it. Having him throw deep go routes can be beneficial for every member of the offense. It would even open up the run game. The Colts are clearly a run-first team, but the deep passing game can help that too.
