Overview

• Mitchell lost the ball out of the back of the end zone after a long catch, turning a likely touchdown into a touchback in a 27-20 loss to the Rams.
• He later drew a holding flag that wiped out Jonathan Taylor’s 53-yard scoring run.
• On Monday he addressed the team to take accountability, and the coach met with him to set expectations.
• Steichen said Mitchell must earn his role through preparation and noted snaps could shrink if Alec Pierce returns.
• The coach also accepted blame for having only 10 defenders on the field on Tutu Atwell’s 88-yard winner, as Indy was hurt by 11 penalties and three turnovers including two Daniel Jones interceptions.
