- Daniel Jones went 19-of-26 for 255 yards with a touchdown and an interception, was sacked seven times, and fumbled three times with one lost as protection and ball security remained trouble spots.

- A short-yardage ruling on a fourth-and-1 Taylor run that was spotted short drew immediate criticism from observers and is being discussed as a developing officiating issue.
- The showcase at Berlin’s Olympiastadion drew 72,203 fans, featured Sauce Gardner’s Colts debut, and sends Indianapolis into its bye before a trip to Kansas City.
