The Indianapolis Colts just lost an ugly game, and head coach Frank Reich is clearly upset.
In their game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, tight end Erik Swoope received a four-yard pass. But it seemed like he was tackled out of bounds by Jalen Ramsey before time expired. The officials then ruled that the clock should continue ticking leading to the end of the matchup.
“I thought he was out,” Reich said, via Mike Wells of ESPN.com. “That was a call that they made, but I sure thought he was out. I didn’t have one [challenge], so it was a moot point. I guess it’s not challenge-able because, if it was, all the replays come from the booth. They would have called for a replay and possibly rule him out, but they didn’t do that.”
The final score of the game was a bizarre one, 6-0 but above all, it derailed the Colts' current winning streak.
They began the season with a terrible record of 1-5, but have bounced back since then. Entering this matchup, Indianapolis has steam-rolled over five straight opponents to improve one game above the .500 mark at 6-5.
The playoffs are fast approaching, and the Colts are one of the teams that are looking to find their spot in the playoff picture. Currently, they are 8th in the AFC and are a game behind the current 6th seed Baltimore Ravens.
The loss seemed to add another setback to their quest for stopping their three-season playoff drought, which began in 2015.
Unlike their previous matchup in Week 10 which the Colts won, 29-26. Offensive production doesn't seem to be present in this game.
Quarterback Andrew Luck passed for 248 yards, but did not see the end zone. Their rushing game also seemed non-existent as they only totaled for 41 the whole game.
