Indianapolis Colts 16, Atlanta Falcons 9
The Colts didn’t play great in Atlanta on Saturday but it was good enough to win. Jim Sorgi had his best game of the preseason as he completed 7 of 12 passes for 67 yards. Quinn Gray was solid as he completed 8 of 15 passes for 100 yards. Jared Lorenzen had another night to forget as he only completed 4 of 10 passes for 52 yards with 1 interception. Kenton Keith led the way for the Colts against the Falcons with 26 yards rushing on 5 carries (5.2 ypc). Rookie Mike Hart pitched in with 19 yards on 5 carries (3.8 ypc). Rookie TE Jacob Tamme led the Colts with 57 yards receiving on 3 catches (19.0 avg) and rookie WR Pierre Garcon pitched in with 3 grabs for 41 yards (13.7 avg). The Colts finished up with 118 yards rushing on 35 carries (3.4 ypc) against the Falcons on Saturday. They also completed 19 of 37 passes for 207 yards in this game. The Colts had better hope that Peyton Manning is ready to go week #1 or they could be in trouble.
CB Kelvin Hayden had a solid game with 4 tackles and he also intercepted a Matt Ryan pass which he returned 67 yards for a TD. Safety Brannon Condren also had a really solid game with 1 tackle and 2 interceptions. The Colts’ run defense was putrid against the Falcons as they rushed for 166 yards on 24 carries (6.9 ypc). The Falcons also completed 15 of 28 passes for 152 yards against the Colts. Despite getting pushed around in the running game the Colts only gave up 9 points and that’s a really good sign.
