Josh Downs records three catches in Colts' Week 5 loss
Summary

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught three passes for 47 yards in the team's 34-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 5. Downs was targeted six times in the game, continuing a trend as he has received at least six targets in three of five games this season. While his performance showcases potential, Downs remains mostly restricted to short routes and has yet to establish consistent yardage figures necessary for a larger role in standard formats. The Colts are focusing on maximizing Downs' impact moving forward.
