Vital Andrew Luck return doubtful for Colts against Texans, report says
Blake Bortles, the UCF kid we’re all watching here in Central Florida, threw for three touchdowns and ran for a score that delivered the wish list for fans screaming for 50 points at EverBank Field.
Yeldon did not return after sustaining his knee injury, and Bradley said his status likely will be updated in more detail Wednesday.
But for them, it boils down to this-if they win on Sunday, they basically win the division. And right now the game in front of us was Jacksonville and we couldn’t win it. There’s a lot of stuff going on here that I can’t explain.
The Indianapolis Colts hope to get back on top of the AFC South with a big home victory.
It was the second straight lopsided loss for the Colts, who lost 45-10 at Pittsburgh last week.
Bortles failed to handle a high snap from Stefan Wisniewski, and Robert Mathis landed on it in the end zone for a touchdown and a 13-3 lead.
There’s no line yet due to the injuries at the quaterback position for both teams. “You can climb from the bottom of the valley to the mountaintop, it can be done”. It can be done.
Now, if Jacksonville can win out and get a little help down the stretch, it really would be a December to remember. Honestly, the Colts might only be an average football team with Luck in the lineup. The defense can hit you, ” Pagano said. “We’re still digging, still clawing. When you lose, all hell breaks loose”. Just felt like through the week as we went through it as we looked at it, we felt like he deserved that opportunity. “From what I understand with an internal organ, you have two kidneys, so you can’t play with one that’s bum”.
“Yeah, I’m hopeful”, Pagano said, via ESPN.com. The Falcons have lost six in a row and seven of eight. The Jaguars all-time scoring record is 62 points set in a playoff game against Miami in January of 1999.
The players poured over the Jacksonville film Monday and the verdict wasn’t as discoursing as one would presume. It was the third game this season Bortles has thrown three or more touchdowns in a game, and it was his second consecutive week doing such after tossing five scores against the Titans last week. Two of the players who have been a focus of that criticism have been defensive ends Chris Clemons and Andre Branch.
When the Colts went three-and-out on their next possession, punter Pat McAfee kicked to Jaguars returner Rashad Greene.
With fans chanting for more, Bradley opted to go for it on fourth down late. “His poise, he took advantage of it and he’s always been a guy that’s gone north and south. It’s cool he got to experience that”. “They stay committed to the system”.
The final one changed the game. They can sense the end of his absence is near. “We earned that. We’ve been talking about it all week: Can we put a complete game together?”
Bortles was at his best in the second half. Added Pagano, “We’ve got three games left”.
Hasselbeck was hurt in Sunday’s 51-16 loss in Jacksonville and journeyman Charlie Whitehurst finished the game. Yeldon after the rookie starter left with a left knee sprain, rushed for 75 yards on 14 carries.
The Buffalo running back had 74 yards rushing and 35 receiving but didn’t interact with Eagles coach Chip Kelly or most of his former teammates and coaches before the Bills’ 23-20 loss. Indy’s T.Y. Hilton caught four passes for 132 yards…. Jason Myers missed the extra point – his league-leading seventh miss of the season – and Jacksonville trailed 13-9 at halftime.
