Colts QB Hasselbeck injures ribs in loss to Jaguars

That will put plenty of pressure on the run game. Then the second half happened.

When the Colts went three-and-out on their next possession, punter Pat McAfee kicked to Jaguars returner Rashad Greene.

Bortles took over after that and led the Jaguars on three consecutive long scoring drives.

When Bradley was asked if this is a permanent move, he said, “I don’t’ think there’s anything permanent”.

“From what I understand with an internal organ, you have two kidneys, so you can’t play with one that’s bummed”, he said. That’s the part that I’m really excited about. “You’re not going to win games doing that”. The Jags beat Miami 62-7 in the 1999 post-season. Soon. The Colts are in a swoon. The Jaguars are one game back at 5-8.

Fantasy watch: TE caught a 3-yard touchdown pass, which gives him a touchdown in four straight games. Hasselbeck completed 18 of 35 passes for 252 yards and was sacked three times before giving way to Charlie Whitehurst. It had also been reported that Luck is pain-free while throwing, although doctors are the ones making the final decision on Luck’s clearance, and not team brass.

“I fully anticipate him being available for us (Sunday)”, Pagano said of Hasselbeck. I’m not embarrassed because Jacksonville has pro players.

All may be topics when discussing the Jaguars in the wake of a 51-16 victory over their AFC South rival, the Indianapolis Colts, at EverBank Field Sunday. The Colts played well for a half and only allowed a field goal in the first 30 minutes. There had been talk his job was in jeopardy if he ended the season with six losses in a row, but he now seems to be safe.

-DE Andre Branch has not produced at the rate the Jaguars were hoping for in the first 12 games and that’s led to speculation that he would be released during the offseason. “Somebody needed to rise up and make a play here or there”, Pagano said. You show their personnel and their schemes and things like that, but we didn’t get into where they were in the division, or the win streak they had.

“Matt Hasselbeck has taken he Colts as far as his 40-year-old body can take them”, former Colts coach and NBC analyst Tony Dungy said on Sunday Night Football.

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense has been killed by critics, fairly, over the past month and a half or so because they’ve frankly been bad. We’ll go back to work.

“We’ve got three games left”. We’ll see if he can increase his activity this week and return to action.

Only twice in the past decade has a team dropped 50 or more on an opponent despite its quarterback having a QBR below league average.

According to a report by ESPN, a return in this week’s game against Houston is unlikely. “So we knew we had a chance”, Hurns said. When you win, everything’s all right. We’re not sitting here saying, ‘Oh my god, how are we going to win a game?’ It’s just like, ‘We need to do what we know how to do.’ We’re a team that can win games. “We do too much stupid stuff”.

-RUN DEFENSE: B. Even with Paul Posluszny, the heart of their run defense out with a broken hand, they held Frank Gore to 60 yards in 15 carries.

There is now a three-team race to the top of the AFC South and the Houston Texans are in control of their destiny. “He just got hit the wrong way to cause the injury”. “We just can’t keep our heads down”.

The Indianapolis Colts need Andrew Luck (kidney) to get healthy and get healthy fast.

“We’ve found a way to play a huge meaningful game in December”. His replacement, Matt Hasselbeck, hasn’t been treated kindly, injury-wise, since taking over and could miss this game if his ribs don’t heal quickly. So could inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman, who has missed the last two games with hamstring and rib injuries. “He loves this game, it speaks a lot to his character”, Hilton said. We made this bed.
