Colts lose 51-16, end 16-game win streak in AFC South
Soon. The Colts are in a swoon. In catching a short pass from Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston from the six-yard line and reaching the end zone, Humphries scored the first touchdown of his National Football League career. “Angry and disappointed? I would say that because I know we’re a helluva lot better than what we showed today”. Seven different players scored touchdowns, with Andre Branch, Rashad Greene, Hurns, Robinson, Thomas, Denard Robinson and Bortles all finding the end zone. A three-team tie-breaker first considers which team has the best record among the three, then the winning percentages within the division, winning percentage in common games and winning percentage in conference games in that order.
The Jaguars held the Colts to 129 yards in the second half. Defensively, the Texans yield 218.2 yards in passing and 114.1 yards in rushing.
Fantasy impact: Even if Luck is cleared to play, it is still too early to determine if he should be penned into lineups.
“Matt is still dealing with some stuff”, Pagano said.
“I don’t give a (expletive) how we get in, all we gotta do is get in”, defensive end Kendall Langford barked in the locker room Sunday afternoon in Jacksonville. The Colts have been good for 3-4 blowout losses a year under Chuck Pagano, but usually it is against a decent team and not from the team giving up in the second half. The Colts are also 6-7 but have allowed 96 cumulative points in consecutive losses.
Some have compared the 2015 Colts to the 2006 team that went on to win the Super Bowl.
“You can climb from the depths, from the bottom of the valley all the way up the mountain top. It’s just that he competed really well and he earned his opportunity for another chance”.
Castonzo said he could return to practice this week and may return to action Sunday. For the Texans, things would get significantly more hard and they’d need some help. What both Mathis and Pagano failed to mention is that the 2006 team had Peyton Manning at quarterback and playing at a peak level.
The (possible) final count for Matt Hasselbeck?
Luck has been running and throwing, but hasn’t participated in any practices. Equally as embarrassing for Houston: The Texans couldn’t find a way to beat the Colts back in October, when Hasselbeck was fighting through the nasty effects of food poisoning.
The Jacksonville Jaguars used three lengthy scoring plays of 49 yards or more in a little more than four minutes and Blake Bortles threw three, second-half touchdown passes to rout the AFC South Division co-leader Indianapolis Colts by a 51-16 score on Sunday.
“This was the first time that we got our tails kicked in”, Quinn said. When you win, everything’s all right. I’m amazed they have been as good as they have been just looking at their numbers. The Indianapolis Colts ground game is averaging 89.3 yards per contest, and Frank Gore leads the way with 762 yards and four touchdowns. Can you even imagine if Yates gets hurt and Weeden were to take over and lead the Texans to victory? “We just can’t keep our heads down”.
Not having Andrew Luck on the field has crippled the Colts, and while Pagano has battled back from his own health issues in the past – he’s not a Witch Doctor able to conjure up some miracle sure for what ails Luck. “You can talk it, but now we’ve had this experience that took place that creates a vivid picture for the players”.
