Knee-jerk reactions: Colts survive putrid offensive second half to beat Jags 23-17

Well.... the Colts made it back to .500 on the season.

Jonathan Taylor was dominant in the first half, doing everything he wanted, helping the Colts jump out to a lead they would never surrender. A blocked punt that was returned for a special teams touchdown was also an important play.

After the first quarter, things got sloppy.

Taylor disappeared as a focal point for the offense. Michael Pittman Jr. wasn’t heavily featured either. The playcalling was incredibly frustrating. Slow developing plays, primarily of the screen and outside zone run variety, were easily bottled up by the Jaguars defense.
