Sauce Gardner schooled by Drake London on late two-point play in Colts debut
NY Post
Despite the win, Sauce Gardner’s Indianapolis Colts debut did not go as smoothly as he would have liked.
The former Jets cornerback got put in a blender by Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London on a late two-point conversion in the Colts’ 31-25 overtime victory Sunday in Berlin.
Atlanta running back Tyler Allgeier put the Falcons up one with a go-ahead touchdown rush with less than two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, prompting the team to go for two.
Lined up on the left side, London burned Gardner on an out route, putting the former Defensive Rookie of the Year on skates as he corralled the two-point conversion in front of the sideline.
London, who finished with six receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown, seemingly had an edge over Gardner all game, making the star defensive back touch earth earlier in the contest as well.
Gardner — whom the Colts acquired from the Jets for a pair of first-rounders Tuesday in a stunning trade deadline blockbuster — had six tackles (four solos) and a lone pass deflection in his Colts debut. He also dropped what should have been an interception.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
