INDIANAPOLIS -- The slogan the Indianapolis Colts' offense has promoted this season has been to “run the damn ball.” Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and guard Quenton Nelson have sported hats with that saying on it.
The Colts have followed through with that philosophy for most of the season, but at some point, the Colts have to also throw downfield when the running game is working in order to keep defenses honest.
That was the case Thursday night against the Houston Texans.
