The Colts were listless again on offense in a 26-3 loss to the Patriots. Insider Nate Atkins has 10 thoughts on that and the franchise's direction.
FOXBOROUGH, MASS. - Here are 10 thoughts on the Colts' 26-3 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium to fall to 3-5-1.
2.The offense didn't open up any holes for Deon Jackson to set a young quarterback up in manageable situations. It didn't pass protect for that young quarterback even remotely, letting Matt Judon and Josh Uche have field days. It didn't create anything down the field, with Ehlinger missing the other couple shots he had. It didn't get the ball to playmakers. The numbers are staggering: The Colts had 121 total yards, including 2.0 per play. They were 0-for-14 on third down.
5.The frightening fact for the Colts is that they have yet to play a game with Ehlinger at quarterback against a high-level offense on the other side. Last week, it was Taylor Heinicke and the Commanders. This week, it was Mac Jones and the Patriots. This wasn't exactly Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck today. New England knew that and managed the game to avoid getting Jones killed by the pass rush or throwing at Stephon Gilmore or Kenny Moore II to create a potential turnover.
