From the episode

The one guy you wanted there to be able to do that stuff, Alec Pierce, is not healthy. And so when you're pushing the ball down the field to Laquan Treadwell, it matters a little bit less.

Pierce's injury forces Colts to rely on secondary receivers; limits downfield passing game.

Alec Pierce is not healthy and unavailable for the Colts. He was the primary target the Colts wanted to use for downfield throws, and his absence forces them to rely on secondary receivers like Laquan Treadwell, which limits the effectiveness of their passing game.
