WINNER: Andrew Luck

Can Andrew Luck carry the Indianapolis Colts?

Looks like the answer this week was “yes.”

It’s easy enough to downplay his 370 yard, four touchdown day because it was against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but we shouldn’t as Luck looked as good as he ever has and the Jacksonville front seven can be tough.

Luck did an excellent job of spreading the ball around and involving everyone in the offense.

Last week saw some people wonder how far Luck could take this team, given its deficiencies on defense and in the run game.

This week didn’t put it to rest exactly—people will always wonder until the Colts fix the problem—but it certainly proved once again that Luck can put this team on his shoulders when he needs to.
