The Dallas Cowboys came into Sunday with plans of securing a division title and extending a lengthy winning streak. They leave Indianapolis trying to figure out what went wrong in an ugly 23-0 loss to the Colts.

From the start, the game belonged to Indianapolis.

On Dallas’s opening drive, Denico Autry, defensive end for the Colts, got a hand on Brett Maher’s 48-yard field goal attempt. Indianapolis wasted no time capitalizing on the Dallas mistake, as Andrew Luck took the team 44 yards on eight plays, with Marlon Mack punching the ball in from one yard out.
