Maybe, but unlike college football, the play is not over when you go down in the field of play until you are touched. If the Colts receiver caught a quick slant and immediately went down, the Ravens may have been smart enough to not touch him.

If anything, I think that perhaps they could have run a timing route on the sidelines with Wentz immediately throwing a looping ball as soon as he got the snap from center and hoping that the wide receiver could haul it in before stepping out of bounds.
