The Colts got another win T.J. Green Color Rush Jersey , however ugly, to extend their streak to 5 straight and continue the march toward a playoff spot. There is a lot to be improved upon after this week 12 game, and if the Colts want to sniff the playoffs, they will need to play better as a whole. What is most critical though, is that they got the win. With a road divisional game against the rapidly self-destructing Jaguars ahead, let’s take a look at the snap counts for this past week to see how the Colts distributed playing time in week 12.Offense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesWith just two tight ends active Sunday, the Colts saw increased time for Dontrelle Inman, who appears to have supplanted Ryan Grant as the Colts’ WR2. Grant and Chester Rogers saw similar playing time.Eric Ebron was used much more heavily in this game than he has been most of the season. He typically gets between 30-40% of the offensive snaps and saw himself at 71% this week. I would expect that to change again once they get their tight end room healthy.Nyheim Hines was in on 26 snaps, just 10 fewer than Marlon Mack. He was only targeted on 2 passes and had 9 rushing attempts. His role as a motion man and decoy has made him an important part of the offense, even when he isn’t getting touches.The consistency on the offensive line continues to be valuable. Having everyone play nearly every snap along the line since week 6 has really helped them grow as a group and enabled them to move Evan Boehm in to take over for Kelly without as much of an impact as it otherwise might have made.Defense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesMalik Hooker played every defensive snap in this Sunday’s game. Given that he missed last week and wasn’t all that impressive, it was a little surprising to see him with such a heavy workload, while George Odum, who got all the snaps in his absence at FS, saw none. I am not convinced that Hooker is healthy, and he did not have a great showing.The defensive line is getting healthy again, with snaps being more evenly distributed around. Kemoko Turay saw a drop in snaps, which was a bit surprising https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Matthias-Farley-Jersey , while Tyquan Lewis continues to get heavy usage. Lewis led the team with 2 QB hits.Nate Hairston did not play a single defensive snap on Sunday. For a guy who looked so promising last season, that is certainly surprising to see. Hopefully he bounces back, and he was returning from injury, but with the offseason almost certainly bringing an influx of defensive backs into the mix, it isn’t a good look for him.Seeing Denico Autry back to getting heavy involvement on the defense is good for this Colts team. When he is healthy he has played well and helped the other players be more effective around him. Special Teams#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck started Sunday by carving up Jacksonville’s staunch defense.He finished it by playing the eager spectator.After throwing three first-half touchdown passes and picking up only two first downs in the second half, he celebrated when the Indianapolis Colts‘ defense delivered the decisive turnover with 90 seconds left to preserve a 29-26 victory over the Jaguars.“We played well enough in the first half to put some points on the board,” Luck said. “Then we survived.”Barely survived, that is.Trailing by three, Jacksonville quickly marched from its 42-yard line into field goal range, and when Rashad Greene Sr. went down at the Colts’ 23, it looked like the Jaguars were already set up for at least a tying field goal. Initially, Greene was ruled down before the ball squirted out.But just before the Jags (3-6) ran the next play, the whistles blew for a booth review. A few minutes later, the call was overturned, giving the ball and the game to the Colts, who have won three straight for the first time in three years.“I thought we got the play off, but obviously Christine Michael Sr Jersey , we didn’t,” Jags coach Doug Marrone said before elaborating later. “Personally, I thought it wasn’t a fumble. But I see what everybody sees from the sideline.”Last year’s AFC runner-ups were a popular preseason pick to dethrone New England. Instead, the Jags have lost five straight, six of seven and are last in the division.And they don’t get more painful than this.Jacksonville had an extra point blocked and nearly returned for a 2-point conversion in the first half.Two 15-yard penalties helped Indy score its fourth touchdown, a 1-yard pass from Luck to Mo Alie-Cox late in the second quarter. An offside call on the ensuing extra point prompted coach Frank Reich to go for two, which Marlon Mack punched it in to make it 29-13.Jacksonville kicker Josh Lambo missed his first field goal of the season, a 52-yarder, wide left in the third quarter but then made a 55-yarder to cut the deficit to three with 4:03 left.Finally, Kenny Moore III sealed the Jags’ fate by ripping the ball away from Greene just before his leg went down and Malik Hooker scooped it up.“Offensively we’re looking to improve, put that thing away,” Reich said. “But make no mistake about it: This was a huge win for us.”Luck started fast, hooking up with Eric Ebron on a 53-yard TD pass seven plays into the game.After Donte Moncrief tied it on an 80-yard scoring play, Ebron answered with a 2-yard TD run to make it 14-7. Luck connected with Ebron again on a 12-yard TD pass, giving the tight end a career-high third score with 9:19 left in the first half.Luck finished 21 of 29 with 285 yards, one interception and was not sacked. He has three TD passes or more in six straight games, one of three QBs to do so in a single season. His company: Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.Blake Bortles was 26 of 38 with 320 yards and two TD passes while Leonard Fournette had 53 yards rushing Pat McAfee Color Rush Jersey , 56 yards receiving and his first two scores of the season — one on the ground, one through the air.It just wasn’t enough.“It’s a good defense, a lot of respect for that defense,” Luck said. “We certainly weren’t sharp enough.”INJURY REPORTJaguars: Center Brandon Linder and offensive tackle Ereck Flowers both left in the third quarter with knee injuries.Colts: Defensive end Carroll Phillips left in the first half with an injured groin. Defensive tackle Grover Stewart left with an injured ankle in the fourth quarter. Neither returned.AUTOMATIC ADAMThe Colts honored the NFL’s new career scoring leader, Adam Vinatieri, before the game with a brief highlight film and the distinction of being the last starter introduced to the crowd, which roared.Vinatieri responded by waving to the crowd and slapping hands with some fans on the field. Then he added three more points to his record-breaking total (2,553) before missing a 52-yard attempt wide right with 2:58 left in the game.He also tied George Blanda for the most regular-season wins in league history (209).STAT PACKJaguars: Fournette had 29 touches, 24 carries and five receptions, in his third game this season. … Punter Logan Cooke completed a 4-yard pass on a fake field goal, which kept the Jags’ 17-play drive alive to open the second half. The drive ended with Fournette’s 1-yard TD catch.Colts: Ebron finished with three catches for 69 yards. He is the second tight end with two receiving and one rushing TD in a single game in NFL history, matching Rob Gronkowki, who did it against Indy in 2011. … Jack Doyle and Alie-Cox, Indy’s other two tight ends, combined for five catches and 64 yards. … Rookie Jordan Wilkins broke free for Indy’s longest run of the season (53 yards) in the first half.UP NEXTJaguars: Jacksonville can snap its losing streak next Sunday when it hosts Pittsburgh.Colts: Could get back into the AFC South race by beating Tennessee at home next Sunday.
