The Indianapolis Colts faced a dismal offensive performance in week 12, scoring only 6 points against the Detroit Lions, resulting in an 18-point defeat. With a record of 5-7, the pressure is on Anthony Richardson and his teammates to improve their game.

Bleacher Report criticized the Colts' offense, labeling it as 'putrid' and highlighting the need for a stronger running game to support Richardson. Despite injuries, the secondary, particularly safeties Nick Cross and Julian Blackmon, showed promise, but overall, the Colts must address their roster's deficiencies as they approach the final stretch of the season.
