Going in to Sunday, the Colts tried to get to 2-1 on the season, which they had no problem doing. Especially when you play the hapless New York Jets, who always need to send their black box to the FAA. The Jets have two former Colts, Frank Gore and Pierre Desir, but even that couldn’t stop an ill fated flight above Lucas Oil Stadium. The New Tork Jets coaching staff were wearing face shields because of coronavirus, and Rick Venturi quipped they might as well stay in their face shields, so they can’t see the crashed airplane. The crash began when former Viking Xavier Rhodes picked off Sam Darnold for a pick six. This was Xavier’s first pick since he was with the Vikings in 2017. Rodrigo Blankenship continued his perfect kicking, and has not missed a field goal since he left Georgia. As for the Colts’ next victim, it’s a Super Bowl 41 rematch with the Chicago Bears. The rematch will bring back happy memories for Colts fans, because at the end of that game, they were crowned kings of football, and that happened to be Peyton Manning’s first Super Bowl Ring. Here are yesterday’s grades. It’s all A’s for the ponies, as they took an ill fated New York Jets flight and grounded them in every facet of the game.
