The Indianapolis Colts' season faces early turmoil after a disastrous showing against the Chiefs, highlighted by an error-filled defense and a shaky outing from Daniel Jones. Jonathan Taylor provided the lone offensive spark with 98 rushing yards and two touchdowns, but questions loom about the unit's cohesion, especially with Alec Pierce appearing rusty and Shane Steichen's play calling falling flat.
The once-promising Colts secondary struggled mightily, allowing Zay Flowers to rack up 150 yards and a touchdown before halftime, while Justin Wally and Sauce Gardner both failed to meet expectations. Lamar Jackson was nearly untouchable behind a barely-there pass rush, and Derrick Henry ran rampant with 144 yards and three scores. Is the Colts' projected top-10 secondary now a liability, and can any leadership emerge to salvage the season?
