Initial takeaway from the Indianapolis Colts hosting the Cleveland Browns week 7 of the 2023 NFL season.

The game should not have been put in the hands of the referees.

The blocked field goal was the game changer.

77 total points in a game, that was previewed as a defensive slugfest.

The Browns only had 2 drives over 39 yards.

The Colts dominated the entire stat sheet, but 4 turnovers by Gardner Minshew.

Miles Garrett is a monster, and is not only playing for Defensive Player of the year, but also NFL MVP.

Miscues and turnovers will lose you games, no matter how good a team is.

The Browns scored 4 times, getting 17 or less yards. The Colts defense played was put in bad situations.

How does an offensive line stay in a positive mindset, when you get beat a lot in a game?

Should Shane Steichen had a Tight End double team Miles Garrett the entire game?

Minshew had only 23 pass attempts, Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss combined for 36 carries.
