It was never going to be an ideal situation. Jacoby Brissett was thrust into a position that he wasn’t prepared for. Right after Andrew Luck retired in preseason, he found himself as the new starting quarterback for the franchise. It was a lot to take in.
Since then, he has had some good moments. He threw for 310 yards against the Falcons in a home win. He also threw for 326 yards and 4 touchdowns in a home win against Houston. But he’s had far too many down moments this season as well.
There’s no better example of this than Thursday night.
