Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts lost their fifth consecutive game, falling 27-23 to the Dallas Cowboys, dropping their record to 2-7 ahead of the trade deadline.
- Quarterback Daniel Jones struggled again, completing 20 of 34 passes for 180 yards with one interception and one touchdown, failing to lead the team in a winnable game.
- Wide receiver Josh Downs had two critical drops on third downs, continuing a disappointing season that has sparked trade rumors.
- Running back Jonathan Taylor was limited to 46 rushing yards on 13 carries against the NFL’s worst run defense and committed a costly turnover in the fourth quarter.
- Despite a difficult game, practice squad cornerback Kenneth Harris recovered a key fumble late in the game, while kicker Spencer Shrader made all three of his long field goal attempts, showing promise amid the team's offensive struggles.
