INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Over the last 10 seasons, NFL teams are 12-58 when committing three or more turnovers and being penalized 11 or more times.
The Colts, in their 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium, committed three turnovers and were penalized 11 times. They're now the 58th defeat in that stat.
And that the Colts were playing a team largely considered to be a Super Bowl contender in Sean McVay's Rams only exacerbated those miscues in Week 4.
"You're playing a good team, and all those plays, when you hurt yourself, self-inflicted stuff, turning the ball over, penalties, all that stuff is going to be magnified in a game against a good team," quarterback Daniel Jones said. "We fought and went back and forth, but ultimately I think we shot ourselves in the foot."
