5 brutal takeaways from Colts’ disastrous Week 8 loss to Jaguars

Jonathan Eig of Horseshoe Heroes offers five major takeaways following the Indianapolis Colts' decisive Week 8 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Eig argues that the loss highlighted severe issues across the roster following recent trades, noting that running back Jonathan Taylor may have played his final game for the franchise after being limited to just eight carries.

Eig also contends that quarterback Daniel Jones struggled with on-field processing while the offense suffered from a lack of downfield passing threats following Alec Pierce's injury. Despite sacks from young defensive players Jaylahn Tuimoloau, CJ Allen, and Laiatu Latu, the defense allowed 183 rushing yards, compounded by eight first-half penalties and missed blitz pickups.
