The Indianapolis Colts have announced that Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. This is a big move for the Colts, who have been struggling to find consistent quarterback play this season.
Brissett, who was acquired from the New England Patriots in 2017, has been a reliable backup for the Colts over the past two seasons. He has been a steady presence on the sidelines, providing veteran leadership and guidance to the team. He has also been a reliable option when the starter, Andrew Luck, has been injured.
This season, however, Brissett has been thrust into the starting role due to Luck’s retirement. He has performed admirably in his new role, leading the Colts to a 5-2 record and a first-place standing in the AFC South. He has thrown for 1,649 yards and 11 touchdowns while completing nearly 65 percent of his passes.
The Colts will be looking for Brissett to continue his strong play against the 49ers. San Francisco has one of the best defenses in the league and will be looking to shut down the Colts’ offense. Brissett will need to be at his best if the Colts are to come away with a win.
The Colts have shown faith in Brissett and are hoping he can lead them to a playoff berth this season. With a win against the 49ers, they will be one step closer to achieving that goal. It will be interesting to see how Brissett performs in this high-stakes matchup and if he can lead the Colts to victory.
