Colts win without Andrew Luck
At 42, Vinatieri is the Colts’ oldest player. That put Matt Hasselbeck into his first start since 2012, and the 40-year-old backup came out with a 16-13 win in overtime.
Fleener said they were ready to roll with Hasselback as QB “we practice it every single week”.
Yahoo! Sports’ Graham Watson and the Tuscaloosa News’ Joey Chandler tweeted that when they tried entering the Colts’ locker room, they were stopped by an usher who said he needed to make sure the women were allowed in. Every time it seemed like the Jags could start to distance themselves they handed a gift the Colts in one form or another. “I have to do better next time”.
However, Hasselbeck found his form towards the end of the quarter to move his side into the redzone, and although they failed to score a touchdown, Vinatieri fired his kick through the posts. I need to, I already know the lesson: “Chill out, you’re a quarterback“.
Three women reporters were temporarily barred from entering the Jacksonville Jaguars locker room following the team’s game against the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
“It’s a little tough going into that open end”, Myers said. But he got a reprieve because Cleveland was offside on the play. He is the first player since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to score at least three rushing touchdowns in each of his first two career starts. He also made his ninth career overtime field goal, which is tied for the most in National Football League history.
-MLB D’Qwell Jackson had 17 tackles, including one for loss. The 1972-73 Miami Dolphins also win 15 straight. With the Texans looming Thursday, the record is within reach. Hell, one of those was designed run on a naked bootleg for Hasselbeck. Arian Foster did not look healthy with 8 carries for 10 yards and a fumble, and if he isn’t going this offense is lost. Seven of his runs went for zero or negative yards. “I just have to stop pressing and play football and have fun”. In a league in which there has been a kicking epidemic this season, the Colts won the game today due to their kicker.
“Can’t do it”, Pagano said. He did not turn over the ball, which was a victory for this position in this offense this season.
Fitzpatrick hit Eric Decker from 10 yards out with 37 seconds to go in the first half for New York’s second touchdown. Again, we’re fortunate. I’ll never apologize for winning. That’s just how the ball bounces sometimes.
The boo birds rang out loudly when the Jets took the field for pregame warmups as the crowd – many donning the aqua blue jerseys of the Dolphins – sought to get behind the official “home” team.
You can nearly see Andre Johnson vanishing before your very eyes.
Hasselbeck locked in on TE Coby Fleener as his favorite target on the day.
“That last drive to win the game really describes this team”.
But Jaguars kicker Jason Myers blew it. On the retry, Myers again missed right. Colts OLB Robert Mathis was happy with the team’s performance “Grit, character and I’m proud of my team”. “So I’m waiting to hear from them. Just wait until the auto ride home”. The Colts worked him out Saturday and felt he was making progress but the decision to make him inactive for the first time in his career was made Sunday morning.

The Panthers are guaranteed to remain undefeated through Week 5; they have a week off. Winning evened the Colts at. Or something like that. A combination of five penalties, equally shared by rookies and veterans gave the Colts a short yardage TD chance that they took advantage of to tie the game at ten.
Luck threw interceptions on Indy’s first two possessions, but rebounded to throw two TD passes for an easy win in Jacksonville.
– Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers and wide receiver Malcom Floyd both left with concussions and did not return.
