Colts beat Denver in ugly game that revealed the beauty of Alec Pierce, the timelessness of Stephon Gilmore and the hopelessness of QB Matt Ryan.
But we do know a couple of things around here. We know Alec Pierce is a keeper. We know Matt Ryan is a goner. And we know the Colts, God bless ‘em, won’t go down without a fight.We were told Alec Pierce could do only pretty things. He can run, he can jump, so that’s what we’ll see from Pierce.
Pierce is a 4.35 guy. He’s a jet, and he can jump, but by the end of this game he had become Matt Ryan’s security blanket. It was Pierce, not Pittman, Ryan was looking for in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter as the Colts were trying to force overtime.We saw Pierce make a leaping catch against 5-11 Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis and a sliding catch in the fourth quarter on a low pass, Pierce scooping both arms under it before it could hit the turf.
Mathis thought he intercepted it. Poor guy. He jumped and reached for the ball, landed on his feet and basically looked at his hands, wondering why they were empty. Pierce, who stands 6-3 and can jump about 40 inches into the air, had used his superior measurables to reach for the ball and grab it before it could get to Mathis. He saved the game, right there.Star Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will return soon from what seems to be a minor ankle injury.

But Indianapolis is below average in dropback and rushing EPA. And they're third in their division.
