Saints keep Colts in check, hold on for 27-21 victory
Foster tore his Achilles tendon and is done for the season, and with one year left on his contract, Foster’s Texans career might be done now too. “I’m frustrated with myself, a few egregious turnovers, the one at the end of the half, that’s really bad football”. That’s not a blip. When the drive stalled, New Orleans appeared to call for a field goal attempt.
Andrew Luck heard the halftime boos and refused to accept them. But the Colts have invested in plenty of weapons for Luck, had Super Bowl dreams, and have been mediocre or worse all season. “I actually don’t even know what you’re talking about”. Luck does have a lot of comebacks after all.
Brees wanted to get one of those back. Pagano was thought to be at odds with general manager Ryan Grigson. With Luck eating more of the salary cap, Indy will be forced to build correctly. New Orleans has won three of its last four. Improbably, the Colts are still in first place in the AFC South, and they are the front-runners to take home the division crown until further notice. “Absolutely we can climb out of it”, Luck said.
It may not look like it, but there’s a HUGE difference between a 3-4 record and a 2-5 record. With due respect to Luck, they’re might be a story beyond that.
The NFL’s experiment of streaming the Bills-Jaguars game went off without any massive glitches but showed why it might not be viable for more than the occasional game. It does not look cohesive. The only thing to say with certainty is that Andrew Luck may be a proficient thrower of touchdowns, but many of those have no bearing on the game. “Just like everything else, we want to look at that, we’re going to look at everything”.
But O’Brien’s missteps pale in comparison to letting Arian Foster, who has had a ton of carries in his career and missed the first three games of this season with a groin injury, continue to play during the fourth quarter of a blowout loss. “He’s a great athlete for his size and strength”, Brees said. Two of the Colts’ scores came on defensive breakdowns; but other than that, the defense largely held them in check. Miami’s four long scores in the first half were the most in at least 75 years, according to STATS.

The Saints meanwhile are in the basement of the NFC South and need the win to keep alive their slim hopes of making the postseason, although with the Panthers and Falcons flying this season those hopes are very slim.
We would prefer they focus on Fisher’s innovative scheming, which is not just fun, but often game-changing. He has given us so much to be proud of as Purdue fans.
– Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, pointing out the hypocrisy of the National Football League having a Thursday night game yet saying that it cares about the health and well-being of the players.
Anthony Castonzo, the freshly minted $43 million left tackle, continued his mystifyingly bad play.
The touchdown was set up by a 25-yard pass from Luke McCown to Benjamin Watson on a fake field goal. “Quarterback wins” is not a real stat, but it’s still worth pointing out that the Colts are 2-0 in games Hasselbeck started and 1-4 in games Luck started. The offense could only muster 15 first downs to the Saints’ 22. “It’s on us”, Pagano said.
“We have to start fast…FINISH STRONG!”
That same connection would combine again just before the end of the third quarter as Hilton hauled in a pass for a 46-yard score to make it a 13-point game. And after three consecutive punts, Luck capped an 80-yard, 54-second drive with an 8-yard TD pass to Donte Moncrief to make it 27-21 with 3:05 to play. Anderson got his hands on it, but couldn’t pull it in. Luck was asked afterward if the Colts are underachieving. “That’s a good question”, Luck said. “We’ll answer that at the end of the year”.
