Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Key mistakes in loss to Rams

Mitchell recorded three receptions on four targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams.

Mitchell saw an increased role with Alec Pierce (concussion) sidelined, but the second-year wideout's positive moments were overshadowed by two huge gaffes. Mitchell should have had a momentum-changing 76-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter, but he held the ball out before crossing the goal line and fumbled through the back of the end zone for a touchback. He was later called for a holding penalty that nullified a 53-yard touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor. Mitchell has second-round pedigree and the athleticism to make splash plays, but Sunday's performance was a missed opportunity to establish himself as a reliable option for Daniel Jones.
