Colts’ Tenacious Receivers Show that Successful Blocking is a Total Team Effort
The
Indianapolis Colts walloped the Las Vegas Raiders 44-27 on Sunday afternoon, as the boys in Horseshoe blue controlled both sides of the line of scrimmage in quite convincing fashion.
Offensively, Colts quarterback
Philip Rivers threw for nearly 250 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, while the Indianapolis backfield (predominantly
Jonathan Taylor) rushed for 211 total rushing yards on 28 carries (resulting in a robust 7.54 ypc. avg.) and for 2 rushing touchdowns.
While the Colts offensive line clearly manhandled the Raiders’ defensive front at the point of attack (which will be a major talking point throughout the week and rightfully so), let’s not overlook some of the Colts’ tenacious wide receivers and tight ends blocking in the process and ‘getting physical with it’ (Big Q-y Style).
