The Colts failed to recognize Flowers in the backfield on this play below… there were just so many different plays that screamed disorganization which is why the question needs to be raised. I'm hoping that by week 8 or so this Indy defense will start to recognize things like Zay Flowers aligned in the backfield, because expecting it before about midway through the season seems unreasonable based on today.

Flowers' backfield alignment exploited Colts' defensive recognition in Week 1.

Zay Flowers aligned in the backfield created a matchup problem the Colts failed to recognize on Sunday; the source notes the Colts did not expect this alignment before midway through the season, suggesting Flowers' versatility and usage in the backfield is a notable tactical element that caught Indianapolis unprepared in Week 1.
