Hilton was asked if he felt like he was close to a breakout game, or if he cared about that as long as the Colts were winning. He responded by saying "both, if I have a breakout game I feel like we will win, I feel like I'm close. Just gotta play through the calls, sometimes I get um sometimes I don't but just gotta play through it. Create my separation and just make it clear for me and I'm ready to go."
