INDIANAPOLIS — Rigoberto Sanchez and Spencer Shrader suit up for every Indianapolis Colts practice at side-by-side lockers, so it’s only natural that the two specialists have developed a tight bond.
They couldn’t have envisioned a more unusual script to the start of this season, though.
While Shrader has been the NFL’s busiest kicker through two games with a league-high nine field goals, including Sunday’s winner in a 29-28 home victory against the Denver Broncos, Sanchez still has not punted.
It’s a tale of teammates who seem content to continue in their current roles.
“As long as we keep winning, it’s fine,” Sanchez said Wednesday. “You know, I’ve been here long enough, I just want to keep winning, man, that’s it.”
