Buckner, who was a Pro Bowler last season, had a blunt summarization of the team’s loss.
“The s— was embarrassing. We got our a— whipped. We have to come in tomorrow, take it on the chin and grow from this,” Buckner said, via ESPN.
Buckner had four tackles, including one tackle for a loss. However, the team allowed 331 yards of total offense on 11 total drives.

The Colts’ offense did not fare much better.
Matt Ryan was 16-for-30 with 195 passing yards and three interceptions.
“I certainly had high expectations coming in. And you certainly don’t think you’re going to be 0-1-1. That’s just not in the competitor’s mindset. We are where we are, and I think being realistic about where we’re at is important. It has to be brutal honesty,” Ryan said, via NFL.com.

The team will hope to have Shaquille Leonard back on the defense. Kenny Moore II was also dealing with a hip issue going into the game against the Jaguars but managed to play.
