The Indianapolis Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 10

The Jaguars go 3 and out on their first possession which is really not a surprise and the Colts get started on their first possession. And the Colts also go 3 and out on their first drive.

We have seen starts like this in recent weeks and ended up having a really good game and I am hoping that tonight’s game is no different. The excitement doesn’t seem to be coming from Jacksonville so far and they go 3 and out again and the Colts get their second shot at the ball with great field position.

It appears that Andrew Luck is reading the line better this drive and his receivers are managing to get free of the defenders and getting open for the reception. They have also had a few good short runs and they are quickly in scoring distance.

However on a 3rd and 5with the ball on about the 7 yard line the Jaguars manage to get the sack and force them to kick and they take the field goal and the first score of the night. The score stands at Colts 3 to Jaguars 0.

A much nicer drive by Jacksonville this possession. On the first down they had a pass play that might have been questionable to being considered a complete pass but it was called that way on the field. The Jags were quick to line up and get another play off before the play could be challenged which was very intelligent.

A few more short passes as well as runs and they are in Colt territory. Since they did not get the 3rd down conversion Jacksonville attempts a 44 yard field goal and misses so the Colts get the ball back with unanswered points.

As we reach the end of the first quarter with the score at 3 to 0 and the Colts have the football on the Jaguars 29 with a 1st and 10. The Colts manage to geet into the red zone and then a short pass play seems to fall apart from the 5 and Andrew Luck runs it in himself and gets the touchdown so Indianapolis has the lead at 10 to 0 early in the second quarter.

What was starting to appear to be the best drive of the game so far for Jacksonville and a short pass is stipped away and the Colts recover. They get the ball back on their own 39. A great pass to Donnie Avery and they get the first down on the 7 yard line.

A second touchdown by Andrew Luck on the ground and the Colts are up 17 to 0. The play was a bit controversial and the Jaguars coach kinda lost his head and got a penalty for unsportmanslike conduct which hurt the Jaguar field position on the kickoff.

The Jaguars can not convert the drive into points and must punt. On the next drive, after the Colts are having some success under heavy pressure in the secondary the Jaguars pick off the pass and get the interception.

Jacksonville has just under 2 minutes to get the ball down field and score. Jacksonville takes the field goal as the half nears the end. The half time score is Jacksonville 3 to Indianapolis 17.
