Colts' Tight Ends Must Produce in Playoff Push
The Indianapolis Colts took a nasty loss to the Cincinnati Bengals to end their four-game win streak. The final score was a brutal 34-14, which arguably showcased the worst performance of the 7-6 Colts for 2023.
However, this season, a certain offensive group of players hasn’t performed as well as previously expected, resulting in receivers like Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs needing to shoulder the passing game.
This group is the tight ends. Even without starter Jelani Woods up to this point in the year, there were higher expectations for this group to help make more plays given that Gardner Minshew is far more limited at QB than Anthony Richardson, needing the help through the air.
With this in mind, let’s dive into each of the four players occupying Tom Manning’s area of the depth chart and break down what they’ve done through 13 games and what can improve to help this offense finish in a playoff spot.
