Jaguars beat Colts 51-16, ending Indy’s AFC South streak

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Sio Moore (51) tries but can’t stop Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson as he scores a touchdown during the second half of an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015.

The entire second half, the Colts were in search of a play that would begin to change the script that the Jaguars had quickly flipped late in the first half.

The Jaguars seize the lead, 30-16, with 4:51 left in the third quarter.

Wide receiver Allen Hurns shook off a missed tackle to turn a modest pass play into an 80-yard touchdown.

“I definitely thought this was a complete win”, Bortles said. I mean it’s one thing to lose but we’ve been outplayed completely these last two. That’s what I’ve told the guys. The Jaguars’ all-time scoring record is 62 points set in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins in January 1999. Soon. The Colts are in a swoon.

The Jaguars scored on offense, defense and special teams in the same game for the first time since 2011, the franchise’s most complete performance under third-year coach Gus Bradley.

Pagano did not question the shove by Smith on Hasselbeck along the sideline because the quarterback was still in bounds.

Hasselbeck, who was knocked out of the Colts’ Week 13 game against Pittsburgh with a neck and shoulder injury, finished 18-of-35 for 252 yards on Sunday. replaced Hasselbeck. Even though he is reliable, the Colts should not be using him as much as they have been.

Seven different players scored for Jacksonville in this one. He was expected to miss two to six weeks. When the Colts punted again, Rashad Greene returned it 73 yards for a score. “Maybe a couple of plays, one or two plays here and there, but I thought how he managed the huddle, how he directed traffic, how he took ownership of it and how he handled it, I thought he did a really good job for under the conditions he went into”. “The only way you are going to stop it is you’ve got to make some plays. We’ve got to bottle that up and keep rolling”.

Indeed, the Colts lost 44-17 at Jacksonville in December 2006 and regrouped to win it all.

The Jaguars may be a team on the rise, but there is no excuse for what just happened. The Panthers won in overtime 29-26. “You can climb from the bottom of the valley to the mountaintop, it can be done”.

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. Matt Hasselbeck is not playing anywhere close to Manning’s level.

Despite Colts owner Jim Irsay suggesting that Andrew Luck could return to the field from a lacerated kidney this week, there is still some uncertainty surrounding when the quarterback will return and even some doubts as to if he’ll return this season, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Colts, who have struggled to a 6-7 record through a combination of injuries to key personnel, along with poor play at times, saw their 16-game winning streak come to end in Sunday’s loss.

Luck was asked if he’s cleared to practice Wednesday and cleared to play Sunday, could he start versus the Texans? “We’ll know more [Monday]”. “He just got hit the wrong way to cause the injury”.

Making matters worse, Hasselbeck’s status appears questionable, too, according to ESPN. He didn’t come back this time. Hilton praised Hasselbeck’s for his toughness.

“He’s banged up, like a lot of the guys, but he’s a warrior”, Pagano said. We’ll need to see if he’s able to practice during the week before any meaningful guess can be made.
