INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts offensive line helped turn Carson Wentz into a human punching back Sunday, which is one heck of a way to welcome the new guy to town.
Play after play, it seemed like the new face of the franchise was having to peel himself off the Lucas Oil Stadium turf. In reality, it was a bit less. The Seattle Seahawks hit Wentz 10 times, including three sacks, on their way to a 28-16 throttling of the Colts on opening day.
The grisly silver lining? Starting center Ryan Kelly put it best: Unfortunately, Wentz got to show his new team just how tough he is.
