The Indianapolis Colts have no one but the Dallas Cowboys to blame for what happened, as it turns out. If the Cowboys weren't the Cowboys, America would never have seen the Colts clomping around in clown shoes in prime time.
No, sir, if not for the Cowboys, this three rings of dumb would have been hidden behind Steelers-Falcons, Jaguars-Lions, Broncos-Ravens and the rest of the 1 p.m. slate. But the Cowboys are prime-time gold. And so instead of this game being flexed into obscurity, America got to see ...
* The Colts surrender 33 points in 11 minutes in the fourth quarter.
* Matt Ryan continue to fossilize, throwing three picks and several should-have-been-picks and losing another fumble.
* Tight end Mo Alie-Cox getting in on the fun by fumbling right to Malik Hooker, a former Colt, who returned it 38 yards for another Cowboys score.
* Extremely interim coach Jeff Saturday swallowing his challenge flag on Isaiah Rodgers' not-ruled-an-interception when the score was still 21-19 in the third quarter.
* The Colts defense knocking off early as the Cowboys went through it like George Patton's proverbial s*** through a goose in the fourth quarter.
Fourth quarter score: Cowboys 33, Colts 0.
Final score: Cowboys 54, Colts 19, the Horsies worst loss since New Orleans road-graded them 62-7 back in 2011. And almost certainly their worst loss on national TV, in prime time, in front of God and America and everybody.
Sunday Night Football?
Nah. Meet Sunday Night Foofball. And, just maybe, the 2022 version of Suck for Luck.
Plowed for (C.J.) Stroud, anyone? Unstrung for (Bryce) Young?
