Colts fans will feel joy watching Titans’ Taylor Lewan get pancaked by a safety

There wasn’t much to like about the Indianapolis Colts’ season-opener.

Aside from a convincing opening drive, the Colts were manhandled by the Seahawks. The run game was non-existent, the offensive line almost killed Carson Wentz, who was actually one of the few bright spots, and the secondary let Russell Wilson do whatever he wanted despite the fact that he was under consistent pressure.

In all honesty, the best part of Sunday came after the game ended when Rodrigo Blankenship met up for a hilarious picture with DK Metcalf.

That’s how unpleasant Week 1 was for the Colts.

But do you want another reason to smile, Colts fans? We know you need it! Check out this lowlight from Tennessee Titans tackle Taylor Lewan against the Cardinals on Sunday in which safety (!) Budda Baker literally pancaked him on a pass rush.

Colts fans will love watching Taylor Lewan get pancaked by Budda Baker.

We know Indy has little wiggle room for laughter after they were dominated by Seattle at home, but the Titans performed much worse, as they got blown out by the Cardinals at home to the tune of a 38-13 drubbing.

That’s an embarrassing result and Lewan was at the center of it. At 6-foot-7 and 309 pounds, Lewan is a mountain of a man and he let a 5-foot-10, 190-pound safety in Baker absolutely steamroll him off the edge.

With all due respect to Baker, he didn’t become one of the NFL’s highest-paid safeties by bull-rushing opposing quarterbacks. Over five seasons, Baker has just 5.5 sacks and 10 QB hits to his name.

As if looking like a practice dummy against a safety wasn’t pathetic enough, however, Lewan allowed Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones to burn him for FIVE sacks, three of which came in the first quarter alone.

After the game, Lewan took to Twitter to thank Jones and acknowledge he didn’t come ready to play, though he used a more colorful phrase.

Regardless of how the Colts performed on Sunday, Lewan being the laughingstock of Week 1 should bring some joy to fans.

Lewan clearly thought Baker was going to try and beat him outside. When Baker changed course at the last second, the 30-year-old lineman couldn’t recover and got thrown to the turf by a player half his size.

Somehow, the Colts’ left tackle situation isn’t as bad as the Titans’ at the moment? Insane.

Looks like Mike Vrabel has some work to do.

Colts: Eric Fisher potentially returning by Week 2 feels very risky

There is a chance that Eric Fisher makes his Indianapolis Colts debut on Sunday against Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams.
