No one is really quite sure what’s happening with the Indianapolis Colts as of late, but something is definitely not right on this team, especially on the defense.

Currently in the second quarter and nearing halftime, the Tennessee Titans are seemingly having their way with them, 17-3.

Indianapolis just can’t seem to make some of the plays go their way, which has become a scary trend lately for this team.

But, for all that has gone wrong tonight, they have had a little something to hang their hat on and it came from the third crucial facet of a football team–special teams.

About mid-way through the fourth quarter, the Colts were facing a fourth-and-10 when they sent Pat McAfee out to punt, down 14-3. He got off a beauty that carried all the way toward the end zone.
