Sam Ehlinger continues to impress in the NFL preseason

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger is putting together a fantastic presason so far.

Ehlinger followed his excellent performance last week against the Buffalo Bills with another great outing on Saturday. He carved up the Detroit Lions’ secondary for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Ehlinger completed nine of 11 passes for a 157.8 quarterback rating.

Ehlinger found wide receiver Micheal Strachan in the corner of the end zone from 15 yards out for his first touchdown of the day.

Ehlinger continued his quality play in the second half. The former Texas Longhorn showcased his escapability and play-making on this touchdown toss, giving the Colts the lead in the third quarter.

Ehlinger is making his case for a spot on the Colts’ 53-man roster when the season starts on Sept. 11. Here is a look at Ehlinger’s impressive stat line in his two preseason appearances.
