Colts' Sauce Gardner vows not to repeat 'embarrassing' effort

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner, reflecting on his performance in Sunday's victory over the Commanders in London, said he gave his team an "embarrassing" effort and vowed there would not be a repeat performance.

Gardner, the two-time first-team All-Pro traded to the Colts last season for two first-round picks, was referring to his glaring lack of pursuit and effort on certain plays against the Commanders. Some of the plays went viral on social media, leaving Gardner mortified.

"There was multiple plays where my effort was not there," Gardner said. "That's not what I stand for. That's not the type of person I am. That's not the type of player I am. And that'll never happen again."
