Colts’ Greg Toler blocks his own teammates from defending Hail Mary vs Texans (Video)

The Houston Texans got the Hail Mary against the Colts on Thursday night, but the Colts didn’t get much help from Greg Toler
The first half Thursday night between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts was not really filled all that much with action throughout, but it certainly ended with a bang. With the Texans needing points on the board before the half, Brian Hoyer hooked up with rookie Jaelen Strong for the Hail Mary.
It was quite the amazing play, as all Hail Mary plays tend to be. Here’s the thing with this one, though: It probably could have been prevented from happening if Greg Toler didn’t get in the way — literally.
When you take a closer look at the play from Thursday night just a short time ago, you can see that, for some reason or another, Toler is literally blocking his teammates from getting near Strong. Of course, this is why it was so easy for Strong to pull the ball in.
Seriously, he just blocked his teammates.
What Toler was doing there, no one really knows the answer to that. He had to know that ball was coming there from the get-go, so how can he not turn around and look for the ball in the air? Why is he even facing that direction in the first place?
Yeah, film room should be fun for him tomorrow.
