After Rams Loss, Adonai Mitchell Addresses Colts as Steichen Puts Playing Time on the Line

Indianapolis refocuses on fundamentals this week after penalties, turnovers, a 10-man breakdown on an 88-yard Rams winner.

Overview

  • Mitchell opened Monday’s team meeting by taking responsibility for fumbling a would-be touchdown out of the end zone and met privately with Shane Steichen.
  • Steichen voiced support but said Mitchell must earn coaches’ trust in practice and preparation this week before the Raiders game.
  • Mitchell’s rough day also included a holding flag that wiped out Jonathan Taylor’s 53-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter.
  • The Colts committed 11 penalties for 88 yards and three turnovers, with Daniel Jones throwing two interceptions and acknowledging his mistakes.
  • Steichen accepted blame for having only 10 defenders on the field on Tutu Atwell’s 88-yard go-ahead touchdown as the 3-1 Colts monitor injuries, including Alec Pierce’s status.
