Colts' website is really hyping the Brissett trade
The Indianapolis Colts apparently really want the NFL world to believe they got the best of the Jacoby Brissett-Phillip Dorsett trade with the New England Patriots on Saturday.

In the story about the trade on the team's official website, Brissett's impressive preseason performance Thursday against the New York Giants was described in extremely glowing terms by Andrew Walker:
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Brissett, 24, is coming off perhaps one of the greatest preseason performances by a quarterback in NFL history on Thursday, as he completed 28-of-39 passes for 341 yards with four touchdowns and an interception - adding a rushing touchdown, as well -in the Patriots' 40-38 loss to the New York Giants at Gillette Stadium.
Unsurprisingly, some on social media couldn't resist poking fun at the Colts:
Jacoby Brissett is to the preseason as Tom Brady is to the postseason. Greatest of all time. https://t.co/2V3PbupeiO

Brissett could start for the Colts in Week 1 if Andrew Luck is unable to play due to a shoulder injury, so Indy's probably hoping he can live up to the hype.
