The Jaguars sacked Jacoby Brissett 10 times and landed 20 hits on the quarterback in their shutout win over the Colts. After the game, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton placed blame squarely on the offensive line.
T.Y. Hilton reminds the Colts’ offensive line ‘they need to block.’ He’s right.
Hilton put blame for the shutout loss to the Jaguars squarely on the offensive line.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
“It is the offensive line, they need to block,” Hilton said, via Charlie Clifford of WISH-TV.
Brissett finished with 200 passing yards and zero touchdowns on Sunday.
“We’ve got to take some pride up front and block for him,” Hilton said. “What if we put them back there to take those hits?”
Hilton said that if the line improves, so will the Colts offense as a whole.
“We’ve got to start up front,” Hilton said. “Once we get the O-line going back in rhythm, we’ll be fine.”
Hilton offered an apology for his comments on Monday.
It may have sounded harsh, but Hilton isn’t wrong. The Jaguars have a relentless pass rush, and they lead the league with 33 sacks on the season after the performance against Brissett and the Colts. But it’s impossible for a quarterback to take 10 sacks in one game and still be effective.
Hilton had two catches for 27 yards on Sunday. The Colts fell to 2-5 with the 27-0 loss to the Jaguars.
