Indianapolis Colts fall short of expectations, succumb to Philadelphia Eagles in 212.5-137.3 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Indianapolis Colts underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Philadelphia Eagles rolled to a 212.5-137.3 victory. Indianapolis Colts grabbed an 18.7-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Philadelphia Eagles after that. They were led by Adam Thielen, who caught 8 passes for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns for 32.3 points, and Carson Wentz, who passed for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns (20.4 points). Carlos Hyde (79 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 16 Rec Yds) and Hunter Henry (4 Rec, 48 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Indianapolis Colts in defeat. Philadelphia Eagles (5-6) will look to maintain their momentum against Dallas Cowboys, while Indianapolis Colts (4-7) will match up against Kansas City Chiefs in an effort to right the ship.
