Even in Colts loss, give Scott Tolzien his due

INDIANAPOLIS – In Tolzien They Trust, at least for one night.

Scott Tolzien lived in obscurity – most backup quarterbacks do – until Monday morning, when he woke up to a pair of missed calls. One was from Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano. One was from Andrew Luck. He knew something was up.

By Thursday night he was starting his first NFL game three years to the day of his last. On national television. In prime time. Against a team that has absolutely shredded the Colts the past two seasons.

No pressure.
