   The Colts turned the ball over on downs late in the 4th quarter to fall to 3-7 on the season. While coach Colin felt the offense played well enough to win the defense simply didn't. Russell Wilson went 24/25 302yds 1td 1int. The Colts also allowed a couple of break backing runs to Thomas Rawls at pivitol parts of the game. Rawls found the endzone 3 times and finished with 113 yds on 14 carries. 

  Andrew Luck led a balanced passing attack finishing 17/25 274yds 2td. Martavious led the receiving core with 99 yds on 5 rec and 1 td. Rookie HB Xavier Tatum continues to progress nicely in the lead role. Tatum finished with 12 car 77yds and 1td. With Charcandrick West set to return from a broken thumb next week questions linger around Colts camp as to how carries will be distributed moving forward.

   On defense the Colts failed to record a sack once again. They currently have a league low 8 sacks.

   While the Colts prospects for the 2017 season continue to decline there are a couple bright spots that should be noted. The Colts do have one of the younest teams in the league. Versus Seattle they started 8 rookies and another 5 second year players. Also  the Colts plan to be big players in free agency this offseason. Shoring up the front seven will be the top priority.
