INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell made the most visible mistake in Indianapolis’ 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, botching a potential 76-yard touchdown catch when he lost control of the ball at the 1 and fumbled out of the end zone for a touchback in the third quarter.
However teammates insisted that play wasn’t the reason for their defeat.
“Stuff like that happens in the game, so I feel like it’s up to the team to bounce back and forget about that, and carry on,” defensive end Laiatu Latu said. “So, I mean, I know he’s gonna beat himself up, but it’s the game, you know. We got another opportunity next week, so it’s gonna be good.”
Mitchell was about to put the Colts (3-1) back in front by making a tough third down reception after grappling with Rams
