Colts Strike Early with Opening-Drive Touchdown
The Indianapolis Colts continued their trend of starting strong, scoring a touchdown on their opening drive for the third consecutive game. This time, it was quarterback Joe Flacco who led the charge, connecting with wide receiver Josh Downs for a 22-yard score against the Tennessee Titans.
A Perfectly Executed Play
The Colts’ 10-play, 70-yard drive culminated in a beautifully executed pass play. Downs, matched up against linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr., ran a route that took him to the back corner of the end zone. Flacco delivered the ball perfectly, and Downs made a diving catch along the sideline to secure the touchdown.
Flacco Steps Up in Richardson’s Absence
With Anthony Richardson still rehabbing an oblique injury, Flacco got the start for the Colts. He made the most of the opportunity, leading his team to an early 7-0 lead. The veteran quarterback’s experience and poise were on full display as he navigated the Titans’ defense.
A Promising Trend for the Colts
The Colts’ ability to score on their opening drive has become a welcome trend. This marks their longest such streak since 2020, and it’s a testament to the team’s focus and preparation. As the season progresses, this kind of consistency could prove to be a valuable asset for the Colts.
