Colts: Darius Leonard accidentally made brutal gaffe tossing gloves to fan

Colts star LB Darius Leonard is definitely in trouble on the home front. Can anyone help?

All things considered, Sunday was a fairly perfect game for the Indianapolis Colts.

A defensive beatdown of Kirk Cousins, Mo Alie-Cox and Jonathan Taylor proving they can carry the load on offense, and relentless execution, beginning to end, in a must-win game. Let the good times roll, right?

Unfortunately, we have a minor crisis on our hands — or, more specifically, not on Darius Leonard’s hands.

In the postgame excitement, Leonard tossed his game-worn gloves to a young Colts fan attending the home opener in limited capacity. A heartwarming moment neither party will ever forget — because there was a special little gift tucked into the gear.

Um, how do we put this … if you’re a young boy with Darius Leonard’s wedding ring, can he have it back please?!

Hiding a ring in a souffle to propose? Adorable, no notes. Hiding a ring in your game-used gloves and accidentally tossing them to a compete rando? Not part of the plan.

Leonard and his wife Kayla first met all the way back in kindergarten at the age of five or six, so we assume she’ll be amenable to forgiving her lifelong partner for this gaffe. But that doesn’t mean the urgency wasn’t still at an 11-out-of-10.

Luckily for Leonard, the lucky gloves went directly to … the step-nephew of a Bleacher Report employee?! How do you get more serendipitous than that? Any other enterprising young tike in the Indianapolis Metro Area, and that ring could be headed directly to a sports memorabilia expo.

Luckily, this kid was well-connected (and probably got some perks from Leonard in the process).

So, all’s well that ends well, it seems, after a stressful post-win sequence for Leonard, who showed out in the victory (five solo tackles on 100% of the defensive snaps, naturally).

We always knew the Colts’ quest for a ring would be difficult this season, but it turns out we had no idea.
