Indianapolis Colts Offense Dominated Detroit Lions Defense in First Joint Practice

Matt Ryan Helps Indianapolis Colts Offense Dominate the Detroit Lions

Matt Ryan looked sharp today, and his arm is looking stronger than it has been. Ryan even showed off his legs today with some maneuvers in the pocket. He picked apart the Lions defense with connections to all of his weapons.

Alec Pierce is Rising to the Occasion

Like I mentioned before Alec Pierce stood out today. This is significant because this dominance is coming against other NFL starters. Pierce was all over the field, his catches included a big time snag during RedZone work over the top of a Lions defender.

Michael Pittman Jr. Brought His A Game and some Extra Energy

MPJ was absolutely torching the Lions secondary. He dominated 11-on-11, one highlight came on a 45-yard gain. Then he followed that up with a screen pass for another first down. The Lions could not stop him for gaining yards after the catch.

As predicted by Colts Twitter Pittman Jr. was in the middle of a skirmish during full team drills. Pittman felt that there was extra-curricular contact on a play and he let his thoughts be known.

A Heartbreaking Injury

Up and comping rookie tight end Andrew Ogletree was helped off the field with an apparent knee injury. This was a non-contact injury, that usually indicates a tear of a critical ligament in the knee. I am not a doctor, fans and the organization await news of the pending MRI. Thoughts and prayers to Drew.
