Minshew throws a pick after Taylor gets free on mesh for 40 yards, and Quenton Nelson gets up slow.
I don't know if that was a miscommunication or not, but there were a lot of Jaguars in that area.— Joel A. Erickson (@JoelAErickson) October 15, 2023

Josh Allen is a problem. He just went the long way around Bernhard Raimann to strip Gardner Minshew from behind.

End of 1Q: Colts 3, Jaguars 0
Jacksonville is in the midst of an 11-play, 56-yard drive. The Jags will start the second quarter on the Colts' 25-yard line.
Trevor Lawrence got the Colts' defense to jump on two plays. Using a hard count, Indianapolis was flagged for neutral zone infractions. DeForest Buckner was called for the first one and then Dayo Odeyingbo was flagged for the other.
6:27 left 1Q: Colts get on the board first with Matt Gay field goal
The Colts offense moved the ball down the field after starting the drive at their own 25-yard line. It was topped off by Matt Gay's 28-yard field goal, which marks his 24th consecutive road field goal.
Gardner Minshew was sharp, completing 9 of 11 pass attempts for 56 yards. Zack Moss had 3 receptions for 17 yards.
Shane Steichen made a gutsy play call on 4th and 1 on the Jacksonville 43-yard line. Instead of trying to drawing the defense offsides, Minshew completed a 3-yard pass to Moss to get the 1st down and keep the drive alive.
