Seattle Seahawks succumb to Indianapolis Colts in 221.52-153.44 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Seattle Seahawks didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Indianapolis Colts cruised to a 221.52-153.44 win. Indianapolis Colts pulled out to an 18.22-point lead on Thursday behind Jameis Winston (15.22 points) and Shaq Thompson (5.5) and never let go of it. Jamie Collins Sr. (5 Tackles, 2 Ints) and Carson Wentz (231 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) carried the flag for Seattle Seahawks in the loss. Indianapolis Colts (2-0) will look to add to their success against Green Bay Packers, while Seattle Seahawks (1-1) match up against Atlanta Falcons in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
You know what, Indianapolis Colts, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Donte Moncrief and Damon Harrison Sr.), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Seattle Seahawks
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and three TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 2. With just 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
