The Indianapolis Colts (7-6) ran into a brick wall offensively as they struggled to keep up with the Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) in a 34-14 loss.
Unfortunately, their four-game winning streak ended as Jake Browning and the Bengals netted several explosive plays that the Colts could not match. (For example, at one point, three screen plays amounted to 124 yards of offense from Joe Mixon and Chase Brown.) Additionally, penalties and a turnover were the undoing for the Colts, stalling any chances they had to make something shake.
However, there was something to be hopeful about as Ronnie Harrison Jr. found a way to make an impact with the injury to linebacker EJ Speed.
Truthfully, Harrison has been playing very well since the Colts parted ways with Shaquille Leonard and gave him a chance at playing linebacker. Sunday was no different. During the game, he snagged a nifty pick-six that gave the Colts some life entering halftime.
Hand-delivered pick six for @Rharr_15.
