Indianapolis Colts RUMORS: Andrew Luck Expected To Play Against New England
The New England Patriots last played the Indianapolis Colts in the 2014 American Football Conference (AFC) Championship.
The 26-year-old quarterback has played in three games for the Indianapolis Colts in his 2015 campaign. One of those pairings has been good from the get-go.
Until last week against a weak New Orleans team the Eagles have had a hard time. And the key to the Colts’ success in the first half was their franchise quarterback, Andrew Luck, who looked like the Andrew Luck we’re used to.
The game at the center of the investigation was the Patriots’ Super Bowl ticket-punching 45-7 win over the Colts on Jan 18, but the victories that have followed have been just as impressive even under a watchful eye. It also happened to be the game that kicked off the entire ballghazi scandal in the first place.
With Brady playing on a high level, and New England’s offense on point, the Colts will need Andrew at his best and a little luck to defeat the Patriots tonight.
In their last two contests, Luck has been injured and Matt Hasselbeck has been the starter- and the Colts have won both games. Over the past two postseasons LeGarrette Blount has run for seven touchdowns against the Colts, and in the meeting between Jonas Gray amassed 201 yards while barreling his way to four scores.
As far as the possibility for the Patriots losing a home game to an global contest, Kraft said that’s a possibility. Devin McCourty drew a pass interference flag on the final Colts drive of the half for boxing out Indy wide receiver Phillip Dorsett inside the 5.
“You may see different looks that you haven’t seen all year”, Luck said. From Twitter to ESPN to Reddit, members of Patriot Nation and beyond all seem to be expecting big scores and a big blowout in New England’s favor. I think that the rest of the National Football League has caught up to Chip Kelly’s fast paced offense and they no longer have that fast paced advantage.
