Indianapolis Colts fans are demanding a running back be cut after the team lost to the Houston Texans Saturday night. The Colts needed to beat the Texans to advance to the Wild Card round.
The Texans and Colts played a tight game all night. The Texans scored a touchdown to go up 23-17 with 6:20 left in the game. The Texans missed their extra-point chance. All the Colts needed to do to take the lead with about a minute remaining was a punch in a touchdown and kicked the extra point.
On the ensuing possession, the Colts drove down the field, reaching the Texans 15-yard line. The Colts made a questionable decision to take running back Jonathan Taylor off the field on a fourth-and-one play. (Taylor was running the ball exceptionally well, as he recorded 188 yards and a touchdown run on 30 carries despite missing some of the game for an ankle injury.)
Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew attempted a pass to Tyler Goodson, but Goodson dropped the ball after it his hands.

Indianapolis Colts fans demand Goodson be cut
Fans were unhappy with Goodson dropping what should have been an easy completion. Minshew’s pass wasn’t great, but Goodson should have made the play.
Here are the best takes on social media of Colts fans reacting to Goodson’s mistake.
Fire Gus Bradley and Cut Goodson. Absolutely pathetic

Tyler Goodson may not touch the field for the Colts again. And I'm being brutally honest. Plays like that in the NFL will get you cut, especially for those who barely made the roster.

Aaaaand that’s how you lose your job. Goodson should be cut by tomorrow

Tyler Goodson gotta get cut lol. Is that the absolute perfect ball by Minshew? No. But you’re WIDE OPEN and it’s well in your catch radius AND it hits you in your hands. They literally brought you in for that play. You pissed the bed. Snip snip brother. #HOUvsIND
