Indianapolis Colts come up short of expectations, succumb to Dallas Cowboys, 209.22-177.70

Indianapolis Colts were unable to bring their A game, as Dallas Cowboys secured a 209.22-177.70 win. Indianapolis Colts earned a 43.68-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 54 points from Garrett Wilson (8 Rec, 102 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Bobby Okereke (11 Tackles). But Dallas Cowboys held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Jared Goff (256 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Tony Pollard (43 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 55 Rec Yds).

Coach Talk

Dallas Cowboys
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Dallas Cowboys. Playing a starter with negative points (Dalton Schultz) while still earning a win... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Indianapolis Colts
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 2. With only 19 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
