Brian Hoyer's rough first half prompts chants for Chad Kelly

Scott Horner | IndyStar

The Indianapolis Colts believed they were in good hands with Brian Hoyer.

Into the third quarter Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, fans at Lucas Oil Stadium thought differently.

Between Hoyer's 6-of-18 passing, with 2 interceptions, and Eric Ebron's uninspired receiving, there were plenty of calls for change.

Ebron told the Colts he wanted the ball more, but he had 1 catch for 8 yards, and a ball was in his hands for the end zone before it was stolen from him.

There were some "We want Chad" chants in the stadium. Chad Kelly, called up from the practice squad during the week, is the Colts' QB2.

Jacoby Brissett took most of the practice reps during practice, but he was ruled out on Saturday due to the knee sprain he suffered last week.

Folks calling for Chad Kelly to replace Hoyer, understand: Brissett took most of the snaps this week. Hoyer took the rest. Kelly has not been prepped at all.

Can Chad Kelly play tight end? — Nat Newell (@NatJNewell) November 10, 2019

There were plenty of tweets with this sentiment (and gif).
