Colts Miss Playoff Spot After Goodson's Crucial Drop

Despite a strong performance from Jonathan Taylor, a dropped pass by Tyler Goodson in the final moments sealed the Colts' fate.

  • Tyler Goodson, a running back for the Indianapolis Colts, dropped a critical fourth-down pass in the final moments of a game against the Houston Texans, eliminating the Colts from playoff contention.
  • The decisive play occurred with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter, on fourth-and-1 with the ball on Houston’s 15-yard-line.
  • Despite the presence of Jonathan Taylor, one of the best running backs in the game, Colts' head coach Shane Steichen opted for a pass to Goodson, who had only six receptions on the season.
  • Goodson was open on the play, but the pass from quarterback Gardner Minshew was slightly behind him and he couldn't make the catch.
  • Goodson took responsibility for the play, stating that he felt like a failure but vowing to come back stronger next season.
