Nearly everything went wrong for the Indianapolis Colts in their 27-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but wide receiver T.Y. Hilton had no problem calling out a particular group of teammates following the rough day.
While speaking with reporters, Hilton said poor offensive line play has been the issue for the Colts.
T.Y. Hilton following the #Colts 27-0 loss: "It is the offensive line, they need to block."

It’s hard to argue with Hilton, especially after the Jaguars sacked Jacoby Brissett a whopping 10 times. Jacksonville has one of the best defenses in football and leads the NFL in sacks, which is why they’ve already embraced their new creative nickname. Still, there’s no excuse for allowing your quarterback to be sacked 10 times in one game.
Hilton should probably leave it to the fans and analysts to call out Indy’s offensive line publicly. Criticisms like that are almost always more productive behind closed doors, and there are plenty of things Hilton can improve upon himself. It takes an entire team effort — or lack thereof — to lose a game 27-0.
