Stampede Blue on Josh Downs

Downs was featured in Jones-Steichen Week 1 example; caught quick out for first down on audible.

Receiver featured in a Week 1 example illustrating the Jones-Steichen chemistry and decision-making process; on a run/pass/run option play, Jones recognized a soft Cover Zero look, checked the protection, and threw a quick out to Downs for a first down. The play was discussed in a Saturday night meeting but Steichen did not put a kill on it, instead telling Jones 'If you see it, get to it'—demonstrating Downs's role as a target option in the Colts' short-game attack and Jones's trust in executing plays based on pre-game preparation and real-time reads.
