"Did Kyle Pitts just drop a touchdown? The tight end drops a clanger, he was very open but the ball just swishes through his hands. That play rather sums up the first round pick's career to date. So far, so disappointing but it only gets worse for the Falcons as they cough the ball back to the Colts on the 23-yard line. Michael Penix Jr is hunted down and can't keep hold of the ball."
"Here we go! And we have early drama after Jonathan Taylor catches a screen pass, sweeps out for 15 yards to the right then fumbles only for his center to save his bacon with the recovery. Colts are in Falcons territory already. Share Not to be outdone the singer belting out the Star Spangled Banner has some of the largest shoulder pads you are ever likely to see. Loving the sartorial choices today. We are almost underway after a choral number for the German anthem."
Early game errors dominate as the Falcons miss a potential touchdown when tight end Kyle Pitts drops an open pass and the Falcons then fumble, surrendering possession on their own 23-yard line. Michael Penix Jr is pressured and loses the ball, and Ashton Dulin's 22-yard run creates position for Jonathan Taylor to score, although the subsequent extra point is missed by Michael Badgley. The Colts' later fourth-down attempt fails when Josh Downs cannot complete a catch, after a big hit by Jessie Bates on Mo Alie-Cox. Pre-game pageantry included anthem performances and a packed Olympiastadion atmosphere.
