21. team. 46. Another Sunday and another disappointing effort from Chuck Pagano’s club, who will once again miss the playoffs and now needs a win over the Jaguars to avoid the team’s first losing campaign since 2011. Quarterback Andrew Luck threw a pair of late touchdown passes but also threw a pair of interceptions for the second time in three weeks. But it was the team’s inept defense that was a real no-show. The Colts allowed the Raiders to run for 210 yards and Oakland’s offense to roll up 459 total yards as Luck and company found themselves on the short end of a 33-7 third-quarter deficit before making the final score somewhat respectable.
<p>Offseason Plans: Will both Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson be back for a sixth season with the franchise? After reaching the playoffs and winning 11 regular-season games in the duo’s first three year with the Colts, this club will miss the postseason for a second consecutive year.</p>
<p>Draft talk: This past April, Grigson used eight draft choices to aid the offensive line (4) and the defense (4). Those young blockers have seen their share of playing time and that will eventually pay off. But among other things, this is an Indianapolis team that is in dire need of some young pass-rushing help.</p>. 7-8. Previous: . Indianapolis Colts
