INDIANAPOLIS — It's time to take a look at the unofficial snap counts from Sunday's 2018 Week 1 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Colts took control in the second quarter and even were able to extend their lead to double digits, 23-10, by midway through the third quarter before the Bengals began charging back. Cincinnati would leave Lucas Oil Stadium on a 24-0 run from that point and earned a 34-23 season-opening victory.
Indianapolis hopes to get back on track next week, as it travels to Landover, Md., to take on the Washington Redskins, who had an impressive 2018 debut on Sunday, going on the road and defeating the Arizona Cardinals, 24-6, to start off with a 1-0 record.
