Chuck Pagano: 'We need to figure things out quickly'

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has admitted that he needs to find a solution to his team starting matches slowly.

The Colts were 27-3 down at the interval during Sunday's game with the Arizona Cardinals, a deficit they never recovered from as they were easily beaten.

Despite picking up some wins in recent weeks, being behind at half time has become a common theme for Pagano's men.

He told Colts.com: "We've got to figure things out and do it in a hurry. We'll go back, look at the tapes and find something. It's got to be addressed and figure out a way to put drives together and put points on the board early.

"We didn't do much to give ourselves a chance. We're not executing, tackling or making plays. Arizona did, they won. There's no excuse; we didn't make plays and they did. That's what it comes down to."

Their 7-4 record means that the Colts remain in top spot of the AFC South despite their latest loss.
