T.Y. Hilton on Colts' shutout loss: 'The O-line's just got to play better' image

Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton threw some of his teammates under the bus after the team's ugly 27-0 home loss to the Jaguars.

Explaining the Colts offensive woes, Hilton told reporters the offensive line didn't do its job protecting quarterback Jacoby Brissett.

"The O-line's just got to play better," Hilton said. "We've got to take some pride up front and block for (Brissett). What if we put them back there to take those hits?

"You've got to start up front, man. Once we get the O-line going back in rhythm we'll be fine.

It might be poor form to blame teammates after a loss, but Hilton didn't say anything Colts fans weren't already thinking. The Jaguars sacked Brissett 10 times and harrassed him on other plays. He completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 200 yards.

Although Hilton was targeted eight times, he finished with only two catches, for 27 yards.

The game marked the Colts' first shutout since Dec. 26, 1993 and was the first shutout for the Jaguars defense since 2006.
