The Indianapolis Colts always seem to have trouble in the pre-season because they never seem to have a lot of quality depth and that showed last night. Peyton Manning just made a brief appearance as he was 3 for 5 for 37 yards.  Jim Sorgi replaced Manning and he did not play too well. He completed 6 of 13 passes for 52 yards with 1 interception. Josh Betts was the lone bright spot on the Colts’ offense as he completed 9 of 14 passes for 77 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception. Betts was also the Colts’ leading rusher with 22 yards on two carries. Joseph Addai also didn’t play much as he carried the ball 2 times for 5 yards. De de Dorsey who is trying to win the backup job to Addai carried the ball 6 times for 15 yards (2.5 ypc). All in all it was an awful display of offense but it’s just the first game of the pre-season so it doesn’t matter. The Colts ran the ball 15 times for 49 yards (3.3 ypc) and they completed 18 of 32 passes for 155 yards.

The Colts defense couldn’t get off of the field as the Cowboys held onto the football for 37:06 of the football game. They ran the ball 39 times for 133 yards (3.4 ypc) and they completed 20 of 24 passes for 166 yards.Â
