The Indianapolis Colts welcomed back their newest Hall of Famers, Peyton Manning and Edgerrin James, with a rousing halftime ovation. We’ve got to block them better and punch it in.” “I think we ran the ball three out of four times there and we didn’t get it. “It’s unacceptable,” All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson said. The shovel pass instead wound up in the hands of Rams linebacker Troy Reeder at the Los Angeles 5.

One explanation for Indy’s loss was its failure, again, to score touchdowns in the red zone. Jacob Eason, Wentz’s replacement, was intercepted by Jalen Ramsey on his second NFL throw. Wentz was 20 of 31 with 247 yards, one TD and one interception. “It’s nice to be 2-0 instead of 1-1 or 0-2.” “They’re not all going to be pretty,” Stafford said. Stafford, meanwhile, drove Los Angeles down the field again and set up Gay for the game-winner. When Stafford answered with his second TD pass to Kupp to make it 24-21, Wentz returned the favor by positioning the Colts for a tying 35-yard field goal - on his final play.

Though Wentz wasn’t in a walking boot when he spoke to reporters, he said he felt sore and was upset he was watching Indy’s final two possessions helplessly from the sideline. Indianapolis, meanwhile, is reeling from the first 0-2 start in coach Frank Reich’s four-year tenure.Īnd things appear to be only getting tougher as the Colts embark on a three-game road trip to Tennessee, Miami and Baltimore - perhaps without their starting quarterback. The combination helped the Rams (2-0) improve to 5-0 all time under coach Sean McVay in road openers. It was the second-highest single-game yardage total of Kupp’s career. And it’s clear he’s already built a pretty nifty connection with receiver Cooper Kupp, who had nine receptions for 163 yards and both scores.
