Indianapolis, IN – The Colts, as expected, dropped to 0-2 on the year. So why is there optimism? The Colts offense has turned a new page. Rookie Shane Leonard showed once again that he has the talent to lead this team in the right direction. The Colts have been without a pass game for two seasons now. With the league catching up and starting to slow down 2-time MVP Jonathan Taylor, Leonard knew he had to step up. Leonard was sharp, connecting on 22-28 passes for 281 yards. He did make two mistakes, one leading to a pick-6. The Colts hung tight with the Chiefs, thanks in part to Leonard and a pair of other rookies on the receiving end of his throws. Jeffries (5-88-0) and Wallace (6-60-0) have quickly made a name for themselves – using their speed to get open. Taylor, despite only rushing for 40 yards, chipped in 93 yards receiving himself. The Colts offense is on the brink of being something special. Only two games in and Shane Leonard looks to be in the running for ROY and it’s only a matter of time before Taylor gets his ground game going. This should be a fun ride. As for the defense…
