BALTIMORE – The Indianapolis Colts needed a win.
There’s no other way to put it because the start of their season has been filled with injuries and a brutal schedule against three teams that should be in playoff contention.
The Colts knew it, too.
They played like a desperate team for more than three quarters, but then Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson did away with running the ball and showed any remaining doubters that he’s a legit an NFL passer.
The Colts went from looking to turn their season around to having it spiral downward when they blew a 19-point lead in their 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens.
