Colts: 3 embarrassing Carson Wentz moments that lost Indy AFC South

2. Carson Wentz’s Nightmarish Goal-Line Interception

Sure, this game eventually got to overtime because the Colts got bailed out with a goal-line pass interference play and recalled — at the perfect time! — that they possessed Jonathan Taylor on their offensive depth chart.

It had no business reaching the extra session, though, because karmically, it really should’ve ended the second Wentz found himself catching his breath for a potential game-winning drive …only to flail in the end zone, narrowly avoid a safety, then flip a backhand toss in the air at ~3 MPH that landed directly in the arms of a leaping Titan.

Pick six. We understand if you don’t want to watch this again, but this article really deserves a visual supplement to fully drive the point home.

Wentz had protection for the hottest of seconds, but even after it broke down, he still had a golden opportunity to chuck the ball at his lineman’s feet and reset. See him right there? No. 78, he’s large, you can’t miss him.

Instead, he decided he still had enough gumption left in his bones, dammit, to make something happen. What happened was an old-school Wentz disaster, the type of decision-making lapse we’d been repeatedly assured he had overcome after joining his old friend Frank Reich in Indianapolis.

Hopefully — hopefully — this doesn’t become a trend. Maybe it was a one-time, late-game streak of being flustered.

Or maybe Wentz never changed at all, and he could decide at any moment to hand a victory — quite literally — to his top rival, essentially solidifying Indy’s place on the outside looking in from the division race. Forget the fact that the Colts used the final minute of regulation to work their way into the end zone. This should be the enduring memory of this game.

Well, this, and one other play.
