PLAYER OF THE GAME
Rookie guard Dalton Tucker, the undrafted free agent out of Marshall, played all 68 of the Colts' offensive snaps on Saturday night. He acquitted himself adequately in pass protection, giving up just one hurry from 21 pass-blocking snaps. He shined in the run game, however, earning a positive grade on eight of his 20 run-blocking snaps.
