And when the big sparks arrived, they could not turn to a fire.
Ed Reed’s first interception of Peyton Manning in the third quarter was given back to the Colts when the intended receiver, Pierre Garcon, chased him down and punched it free for Dallas Clark to recover.
Reed’s second interception, later on the same Colts possession, also didn’t take the ball away. It only happened because Corey Ivy interfered with Clark.
Indy wound up collecting four second-half turnovers.
Offensively, the Colts weren’t phenomenally crisp, but they did some good work against a tough Ravens defense and bounced right up from every big hit. Taking what was available, they didn’t manage a play longer than 20 yards.
