(LOS ANGELES, CA) - Can the Colts get a redo? That’s how ugly it was in their 46-9 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday’s season opener.
Scott Tolzien threw two pick-six interceptions while the Colts defense gave up 30 points and 373 yards of offense to a Rams' team that ranked dead last in total offense last season.
Jared Goff had a career-high 306 yards and a touchdown while the defense racked up two interceptions, four sacks and a forced fumble.
Tolzien was 9-for-18 for 128 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by Jacoby Brissett, who went 2-for-3 for 51, including a 50-yard strike to Donte Moncrief that set up the Colts' lone touchdown, a 1-yard run by Marlon Mack.
Even the always reliable Adam Vianteri was off as he missed a 38-yard field goal and an extra-point.
"There was nothing good about this game," Chuck Pagano said afterwards. That may be an understatement.
Asked if he would make a quarterback change after Tolzien's struggles Pagano said he would have to "look at the film" but all options were on the table.
Ahead of the game a report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Andrew Luck could be out until at least October as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery.
