A week after getting blown out by the Saints, the Colts now blew out the depleted Carolina Panthers, who had a rookie quarterback making his first NFL start. Not a meaningful win by any terms, but a good one in terms of morale and to close out Lucas Oil Stadium with a positive note.
First of all, a special shoutout to our very own Zach Hicks, who this week posted an excellent in-depth article showing why Hines needed more touches in 2020. Hines returned two punts for touchdowns, one for 84 yards and the other for 71 in what was without a doubt the most dynamic and explosive performance by a Colts player this season.
