Indianapolis Colts’ special teams scores TD on Jacksonville Jaguars off blocked punt

NFL

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts‘ first touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t come on offense. It came on special teams.

Colts linebacker and special teams captain Zaire Franklin went basically untouched on the left side of the line, sprawled his body out and blocked Logan Cooke‘s punt early in the first quarter.

Franklin immediately got off the ground and tried — and failed — several times to scoop up the loose ball before fellow linebacker E.J. Speed grabbed it off the bounce and ran 12 yards for the touchdown to give the Colts a 10-0 lead.
