Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner finally tasted victory on American soil this past Sunday, and man, it’s been a minute. The Colts pulled out a gritty 19-17 win against the Houston Texans, marking Gardner’s first win in the United States since December 15, 2024. Think about that for a second. That’s nearly two whole years without celebrating a victory on home turf.
The Streak That Nobody Was Talking About
Gardner’s last American win was way back when he was with the New York Jets. He’s been grinding, he’s been playing, but that W just hadn’t materialized on this side of the Atlantic until now. You know he had to hit up social media to react, because breaking a streak like that is monumental. It’s the kind of thing that sticks with you, and finally getting that monkey off his back? Huge for the guy.
Sauce Showed Up For The Win
It wasn’t just a backseat ride to victory either. Sauce Gardner put in some serious work against the Texans. He racked up five tackles and broke up two passes, doing his part to make sure that 19-17 score went their way. You gotta love to see a player contribute directly to breaking a personal streak like that.
Now, Gardner and the Colts are looking to build on that momentum. Next up, they’re heading across the pond to London for Week 4 to face the Washington Commanders. Can they make it two wins in a row, finally kickstarting a solid run? After waiting that long for an American win, every victory is a massive step forward.
