It was another physical day against Dan Campbell’s squad before both teams square off during the second preseason game Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Second straight year that Blankenship has kicked great at Grand Park.

E.J. Speed gets a pick
Tim Boyle chased out of the pocket by Byron Cowart and is picked off in the end zone by E.J. Speed. Throw was about 15 yards.

Lions get the better of Indy in the red zone
Unlike yesterday, Lions win today’s red zone period. Stout in the run game.
Offensive line depth for Indy is a bit concerning for me.

Still a strong day for Matt Ryan
By my count, Colts QB Matt Ryan was 7-of-8 in Red Zone 7-on-7s, including two TD catches by Nyheim Hines and one by Mo Alie-Cox, who made a nice readjustment. Basically Matt threw it up and Mo used his big body to make a play.

But a pair of drops in the two-minute drill
Rough finish for the #Colts offense.
Two-minute situation to end the day. First and second team didn’t get a first down.
Couple drops from Kyler Granson and Parris Campbell.

Not much fighting
I mean this:
Kudos to Frank Reich and Dan Campbell + their teams.
2 days of competitive work. 1 small fight. Nothing else. Rare for joint practices.
