Posted Oct 23, 2023
Colts receiver Josh Downs had 99 receiving yards by halftime and finished with five catches for a career-high 125 yards and a touchdown. It was another tough day for Washington’s Sam Howell in the Commanders’ 14-7 loss as the New York Giants sacked him six times to push his season total to 40. Denver's Javonte Williams ran 15 times for 82 yards.
