The Indianapolis Colts are quite aware of the road ahead of them over the next few weeks. He struggled against the Saints for most of the first half, throwing two costly interceptions. The undefeated Carolina Panthers will be looking to extend their current 10-game regular season winning streak, while the Indianapolis Colts will be looking to regain their form from 2014.

But after falling behind in most games, the Colts have relied on the arm of Andrew Luck.
There were plenty of reasons for Kirk Cousins and Washington to believe this game was not going to go their way. “I know the first step for me is making sure I’m taking care of my business and handling my job in a sense”. Again, I’ve said this earlier, it starts with good practice, it starts with sharp practice. It was a great practice today. “The good thing is you got (Bradford) on the ground”.
The three most expensive wide receivers in this game? “He’s big, strong… and he’s faster than you think, too”.
Just a couple of hours after telling reporters on Monday he did not anticipate any changes to his coaching staff, Caldwell fired the Lions’ offensive coordinator and two offensive line coaches.
“No off day on Wednesday because this team needed to get back to work”, Pagano said.
At times this season, he has looked as bad as he ever has, and not surprisingly, the Colts (3-4) have followed Luck’s lead. We all have to be better. “I was very fortunate and we just kept working and kept working and that’s all you can do in those situations”. We’ve put together a half here and there. Three games they’ve held opposing RB1s under 10 points, one game they gave up 12.4 and the other two have been 20-plus fantasy points. Niners’ rookie linebacker Shayne Skov was on the field for 24 special teams snaps, all but one of San Francisco’s special teams plays. And really, there’s no reason to dwell on a relationship that never even started.
“He’s one of the premier quarterbacks in the NFL”. He’s had flashes, but he hasn’t been able to produce consistently this year.
“When you hear the ‘dun, dun, dun, dun, ‘ that little tone embellishes what football is all about”, Newton said, offering up a spot-on rendition of Monday Night Football’s long-running theme song. Cam Newton has played great this season, even while missing his best wideout.
The offensive line is also not entirely to blame either. Is that something Luck needs to do? “He’s got a clock in his head”.
Inside the team’s headquarters, there’s no debate between playing Luck or 40-year-old backup Matt Hasselbeck, who was 2-0 in Luck’s absence. Let’s not be too quick to judge and get ready to do whatever.

With three more touchdown passes, QB Andrew Luck will have 100 for his National Football League career. If Luck is fine, then the team will look better. With Luck’s injury and his questionable throws, playing Hilton or Moncrief become more “safe” options than anything else.
