It’s on Colts’ receivers to ‘catch the (&#@*!) ball’

INDIANAPOLIS – Let’s consider it a bit of NFL plagiarism, compliments of Reggie Wayne.

It hasn’t been that long ago Quenton Nelson broke out his Run the Damn Ball mantra.

Now, as the Indianapolis Colts transition from 15-year veteran Matt Ryan to relative newbie Sam Ehlinger, some of the attention shifts to Wayne’s receivers room. That collective group – Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell, Alec Pierce and the rest – needs to lessen the pressure on Ehlinger, who not only will make his first career start Sunday against the Washington Commanders but also attempt his first NFL pass.How does that dramatic shift impact the wideouts?

“Ultimately it shouldn’t be much of a difference,’’ Wayne said Thursday afternoon. “Our job is still the same no matter who’s throwing it.’’

What for it.
