Tyler Goodson, “feeling like a failure” after a dropped pass, vows to come back better.
Following a devastating dropped pass during the Colts’ season-ending loss to the Texans, Tyler Goodson expressed deep remorse, admitting he felt like a failure. The pivotal play occurred on fourth-and-1 with only 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter. Despite the support from teammates encouraging him to stay positive, Goodson, known for being hard on himself, took full responsibility for the missed opportunity.
While Gardner Minshew’s pass to Goodson was not flawless, the receiver acknowledged that he should have made the catch. Reflecting on the incident, Goodson emphasized his commitment to improvement, stating that he works too hard to let such mistakes happen. He recognized the significance of the play and vowed not to find himself in a similar position in the upcoming year.
Questions arose about why Goodson was on the field instead of starting running back Jonathan Taylor during such a critical moment. Goodson defended his presence, explaining that they had practiced the short-yardage pass play throughout the week and that he was prepared for it. Unfortunately, despite the preparation, he acknowledged his failure to execute when the crucial moment arrived.
As the Texans advance to the playoffs, the Colts’ season concludes with a disappointing loss, leaving Goodson determined to learn from the experience and return as a better player next season.
