The Indianapolis Colts made their preseason debut against a Panthers team eager to prove that Carolina is not to be taken lightly this year, and while both Jacob Eason and Sam Ehlinger had some rough moments, both players ultimately impressed as Indianapolis pulled out a close 21-18 win.
Eason showed off the bazooka of a right arm that made him famous in college on several deep passes, while Ehlinger made enough plays with his legs to lead the team on a game-winning drive. Frank Reich was pleased with how his signal-callers performed.
Things could get tougher against the Minnesota Vikings, as this team will be looking to avenge what was an ugly Week 1 loss against an Indianapolis team that has been beset by injuries all offseason long.
Will the Colts be able to add a second preseason win to the ledger? Or will they start to show some of the cracks in their facade as Minnesota unloads on them? It will likely depend on the play of the quarterbacks once again.
Jacob Eason goes to Parris. ✈️

Colts vs Vikings Prediction Week 2 Preseason
Minnesota is fresh off getting whooped 33-6 by a Denver Broncos team that isn’t expected to blow the doors off of the AFC West, so expect a better performance.
While preseason games can be hard to predict given how infrequently starters are playing, the fact that Minnesota’s quarterbacks looked so poor and Indy’s looked so effective last week might be enough to give them the edge.
