MINNEAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts scored their second non-offensive touchdown of the day when safety Julian Blackmon intercepted Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins’ wayward pass attempt, returning it for a 17-yard touchdown. The Colts lead the Vikings, 30-0.
Cousins targeted Jalen Reagor on the stop road, but Cousins kicked inaccurately, leaving the ball wide to Reagor’s left. This basically placed it in Blackmon’s chest, making it easier to intercept.
The Colts gave Cousins fits today. He completed just 6 of his first 12 attempts for 43 yards and was sacked three times.
CHOOSE SIX. JULIAN BLACKMON ‼️

Meanwhile, in the first quarter, the Colts blocked a punt that was snatched out of the air by linebacker JoJo Domann, who returned it 24 yards for a touchdown.
Defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo managed to penetrate the inside line and put his hands on punter Ryan Wright’s attempt.
The deflection sent the ball flying through the air, allowing Domann to easily catch it while running.
The Colts are in dire need of non-offensive touchdowns this season given their struggling offense, which ranks 31st in scoring.
WE LOVE A TD SPECIAL TEAM.
