Colts

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

D.Jones throwing a pick to D.Lloyd on the opening drive set the tone, and the game never really uncrooked itself — B.Thomas torched C.Ward deep twice in the first quarter, and a J.Taylor fumble inside the red zone slammed the door before halftime. The 36-19 final almost undersells it. The bigger problem isn't this loss in Jacksonville; it's what the Jones injury means for January, and possibly the two Januarys after that.

What fans said

• “The worst part about losing Jones is this will now be remembered as the event that lost the season and potentially derailed 2026-2027 as well.”
