Jaylon Carlies just ripped off the play of his life in London, snagging his first career interception for the Colts during their 30-13 win over Washington, only to get hit with a nasty rib injury moments later. Talk about a brutal twist for a guy who just gave his team a huge boost!
London Glory, Colts Style
This wasn’t just any pick, either. Carlies, the Colts’ starting weak-side linebacker, opened up the second half by batting Athan Kaliakmanis’ throw high into the air, then hauled it in himself. It was the first interception of the season for Indianapolis and exactly the turnover they needed to stretch their lead to two scores. What a way to take control of the game, right? And hey, even some of our legendary 12s were out there representing, spotted posing with other fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the thick of the action!
The Price of Control
Unfortunately, that career-defining moment came with a pretty steep price. Carlies suffered an injury to his ribs not long after that incredible play. It sounds like he wasn’t alone, with the article noting it was part of the general attrition from playing an international game. You hate to see a player make such a huge impact only to get sidelined by injury on the same day. It’s tough news for the Colts, and you gotta hope Carlies can bounce back quick after a performance like that.
