It was only one play, but I loved it because ........ as much as dumb football drives me up a wall, smart football deserves to be complimented.


With the ball deep in Texans territory late in the 2nd quarter, Ebron showed excellent situational awareness ........ in addition to getting down to the ground to catch a ball that was thrown low by Andrew Luck, he then rolled over towards the goal line, knowing that it was near.


First and foremost, catch the ball ........ secondly, know where you are on the field (near the first down sticks, near the sidelines, near the goal line, etc.)

2 days later ........

With Jack Doyle out for the season and Erik Swoope waived, I suspect that Ebron will get plenty of playing time down the home stretch.

With 2 games still left to be played, Ebron has more than twice as many TD receptions (12) than his previous career high (5, when he played for the Lions in 2015.)

Ebron had 5 catches overall, including 2 for TD's.

Believe it or not, Ebron tied Dallas Clark for the franchise record for TD receptions by a tight end in a single season (11) ........ and the Colts still have 5 games left to play.

Hall-of-Famer John Mackey had 9 TD receptions in a 14-game season for the Baltimore Colts in 1966.


In this article, Ebron talks about his admiration for Clark when he was growing up.

Ebron broke the franchise record for TD receptions by a tight end with a catch and score against the Texans on December 9th.


With Doyle out for the season and Swoope having been cut, he was the only Colts tight end with any receptions (3) in their win over the Giants on Sunday, although he had 1 notable drop of a pass that was right in his hands.

Ebron's TD reception on the very first drive of the game opened the scoring for the Colts.

He nearly had an amazing catch for another TD later in the first half, even after the Justin Reid jarred the ball loose from him with a big hit. Fortunately, Luck threw a TD pass on the very next play to teammate Dontrelle Inman.

Reid paid the price for that hit too. Ebron just walked back to the huddle, Reid didn’t get up for a while.

Yes ........ Reid took one for the team, so it was a good play by both Reid and Ebron.

My comment was more about that fact that Ebron did an excellent job of concentrating in spite of getting hit AND the defender getting his hands on the ball (ala Lynn Swann in Super Bowl X), rather than who got the better of the contact.

I'm not sure why I find this funny, but Ebron resents Houston for their sole TD yesterday:

Generally speaking, it's best to complain about officiating after a win ........ that way, they can't write it off as "sour grapes", as if often done when players and/or coaches complain after a loss.


I'm not saying that complaints after a loss are not legitimate (they often are), but it's impossible to simply dismiss complaints as that of coming from a sore loser after a win.

Is CH actually Jack Doyle (@JackDoyle is the handle)? Because he started cutting up the Lions fans that came in to rag on Ebron.

(vs. CHIEFS, 1/12) )) (Divisional Playoff)


Ebron had a BIG DROP on 3rd down, on the Colts' very first series of the game ........ that drop, and the 2 quick touchdowns that the Chiefs scored afterward set the tone for today's game.


For the day, he had 5 catches for 51 yards.
