DeAndre Hopkins, did you really just trot on over to that fumble and allow the Colts to sneak out of that game with the win? Where was the effort on that play DeAndre? You obviously saw the football on the ground, but there was no way that you were going to run full speed and attempt to get a hand on that football.

Let’s take a look at the play over and over and over again via Vine:

That lack of effort is going to show up in the filmroom and his teammates are going to be pissed about the play. There are a number of things to be annoyed about on the play, but the lack of effort by Hopkins has to be one of them. He has to be in full sprint looking to hop onto that football to save the possession. He shouldn’t be looking like an out of shape old man who is going for a jog around the neighborhood.
