Enemy Intel: Luck unlikely to return in Week 15

If he is allowed to practice this week, Luck would still need to be cleared to play in a game.

“I am such a big believer in practice and always will be”.

“We’re not quite sure when we go into each game who’s going to be targeted the most, how it plays out, but it’s nice to have different weapons, difference skill sets with the guys on the perimeter and then the run game that we can go to”, coach Gus Bradley said. “The only way you are going to stop it is you’ve got to make some plays”.

The Atlanta Falcons are sinking fast, with seemingly no life preserver in sight to save their once-promising season.

The Jaguars offense got off to a very slow start, doing pretty much nothing in the first half outside of the opening drive that resulted in a field goal.

They could have used a life-preserver on offense, where quarterback Jameis Winston threw for just 182 yards, his second-lowest total of the season. They had their chances, especially early, but did not capitalize. Defensively, the Colts yield 280.4 yards in passing and 118.7 yards in rushing.

Indianapolis has been outscored 96-26 in its last two games, both on the road.

Two weeks ago, he told reporters he was throwing.

Bortles took over after that and led the Jaguars on three consecutive long scoring drives. Branches touchdown lead to a forty eight point scoring rampage by Jacksonville!

“No matter what time of season it is, when you can have a guy like that playing behind you, it’s huge”, said Anthony Castonzo.

One of the big issues for the Colts over the past few seasons has been the inconsistent play of their defensive secondary. The Jaguars carried that momentum into the second half, and after Bortles found Robinson for a touchdown late in the third, the only thing left was to see how many points the Jaguars would score.

They could have used a life-preserver to compose themselves, as Mike Evans went full-throttle out-of-control while ripping off the helmet of a Saints defender in the second half. On Jacksonville’s first play in the third quarter, he hit Allen Hurns (three catches, 105 yards) with a sideline toss that the wide receiver caught near midfield. The Jags would score touchdowns on all five of their second-half possessions. Given the magnitude of the game, the opponent they were facing and how badly they got beaten it has to be the worst. “[He’s] banged up”, Pagano said.

Life in the AFC South, the Colts are 6-7 and are still in first place in the division after the Houston Texans got beat by the New England Patriots on Sunday night.

Frank Gore #23 of the Indianapolis Colts runs the ball against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 29, 2015 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Greene missed seven games however when he was out with a broken bone in his forearm. The next step is for team doctors to clear Luck for practice, and Monday he gave every indication that will be the case when practice resumes Wednesday. They’d be a game up on the Texans (and one or two up on the Jaguars), with a season sweep of the Texans and a better division record than the Jaguars in the bag. He is also hopeful to practice on Wednesday.
