The Colts won 27-24.INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett played brilliantly Sunday.
He was poised, accurate and turnover-free. He helped his team score points, avoided mistakes and capitalized when opportunities arose.
Brissett completed his first 16 passes, threw for two touchdowns in the first half, led the Colts to scores on their first four drives and even converted a late third down with an 11-yard completion to Jack Doyle to close out a virtually flawless performance in a 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
“I was feeling like everyone was open and I was throwing it to people in my color jersey who were open,” he said. “It was just one of those days.”
