MINNEAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts scored their second non-offensive touchdown of the day when safety Julian Blackmon intercepted a fumbled pass attempt by Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, returning it 17 yards for a touchdown. The Colts lead the Vikings 30-0.
Cousins targeted Jalen Raygore on a stop route, but Cousins mis-threw the ball to Raygore’s left. That essentially put it in Blackmon’s chest, making for an easy interception.
Sweets gave Cousins a game today. He completed just 6 of his first 12 attempts for 43 yards and was sacked three times.
CHOOSE SIX. JULIAN BLACKMON ‼️

Meanwhile, in the first quarter, the Colts blocked a punt that was ripped out of the air by linebacker JoJo Doman, who returned it 24 yards for a touchdown.
Defensive wing Ifeadi Odenigbo was able to penetrate the line and get his hands on Ryan Wright’s attempt.
The deflection sent the ball flying, allowing Doman to easily catch it on the run.
The Colts have been in dire need of non-offensive tackles this season given their struggling offense that ranks 31st in scoring.
WE LOVE SPECIAL TEAMS TD.
