Colts WR Adonai Mitchell’s Fumble at Goal Line One of Many Self-Inflicted Mistakes in Loss to Rams
Mitchell's fumble at the 1-yard line erased a potential go-ahead score, preserving the Rams' lead and marking his first lost touchdown opportunity in 21 NFL games.
- On Sunday, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell botched a potential 76-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, fumbling out of the end zone for a touchback that gave the Los Angeles Rams the ball on their own 20-yard line.
- Mitchell began reaching out the ball as he neared the goal line and bobbled it, which dislodged the football from his grasp, preventing him from securing it despite attempts to recover.
- The Colts were trailing 13-10, and Mitchell, who has yet to score a touchdown in 21 NFL games, had just one catch for nine yards before the play.
- The late touchdown put the Rams ahead 27-20, ending the Colts' unbeaten start and leaving Indianapolis with a 3-1 record.
- The Colts will look to rebound as they aim to remain undefeated through four weeks with their next game at home against the Los Angeles Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 5.
