I've taken some heavy flak recently for linking to Bob Kravitz and Brad Wells, but I think I finally have an entirely uncontroversial reporter in Chris Widlic. His article, on Indy's recent road woes, is clear, has a good quote by Reggie Wayne, and lays out the basics. Don't turn the ball over. Force turnovers. Pass to those five guys (okay, that was me). Point is, it's been too long since the Colts have gone back to the horseshoe city victorious.
Their best chances this year:- this week. Tennessee's a mediocre team when CJ0K exceeds expectations. Also, the Titans's run defense is just as bad as Indy's, so Andrew Luck can have a bit of fun. Three rushing touchdowns this week? Maybe?
- in Jacksonville. We know they can beat the Jags for the first 59 minutes of play; what's one more? Also, Brown and Mathis will certainly be back by then; they're still questionable against Tennessee.
- in Detroit. I picked Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford in one of...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- This is why the Indianapolis Colts drafted Andrew Luck with the top overall pick in April. Stymied most of the day by the Tennessee Titans' normally pliable defense, Luck walked off the field Sunday when Vick Ballard took his screen pass 16 yards -- leaping high into the air to crack the goal line's plane with the ball -- with 10:11 left in overtime...

Earlier this week, I broke down the film from the Colts' first two sacks against the Browns. I chose to wait on this final sack so as to use the All-22 film to completely breakdown what is happening, as it's occurrence had more weight (or could have) than the other sacks did.
The play itself was an interesting call, after averaging over four yards per carry on the drive...
