"Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had already done so much: Made a contested catch, spun away from a tackler and outran two defenders. The only remaining task before his first career touchdown was to cross the goal line. And Mitchell dropped the ball -- literally. In a play that dealt a devastating blow to the Colts (3-1) in their first loss of the season, Mitchell ruined what would have been a 75-yard touchdown by sloppily fumbling the ball just as he reached the end zone."
"Mitchell, meanwhile, was left to pick up the pieces after the Colts' 27-20 loss at SoFi Stadium. "It definitely stings," Mitchell said after the game. "The ball was put in my hand to make a play for the team, and it was a matter of losing focus and just to play. That just can't happen. Just unacceptable. I've just got to be better for the team and for the organization.""
Adonai Mitchell dropped the ball at the goal line on what would have been a 75-yard touchdown, resulting in a touchback and a turnover to the Rams. The Colts lost the game 27-20 at SoFi Stadium. Later, on a first-and-10 play with 2:25 remaining and the score tied at 20-20, Mitchell committed a holding penalty while blocking for Jonathan Taylor, negating a 53-yard touchdown and moving the ball back. Mitchell called the fumble and loss of focus unacceptable and said he must be better for the team and organization. The mistakes directly altered the game's outcome and momentum.
