Tar Heels in NFL: Josh Downs, Cole Holcomb have big games; Ty Chandler shines on special teams

Posted Oct 9, 2023
Josh Downs had the best game of his rookie season, Cole Holcomb had a big day and Ty Chandler made a fake punt work on Sunday. Although a touchdown still has eluded Downs through five games, the receiver caught all six passes targeted to him Sunday for a season-high 97 yards in the Indianapolis Colts’ 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans.
