Colts had such a long layoff between their first and second preseason games Womens Jabaal Sheard Jersey , and with football just getting back we needed our fix soon. Unfortunately, the Colts came out a pretty cold early in this one. Aside from a pass breakup by Matthias Farley on the Baltimore Ravens first offensive play of the night, and a big stick on the next, Joe Flacco largely had his way with the defense.Flacco started the night 7-9 for 72 yards and a 7-yard touchdown pass to John Brown on his three series of the game before handing the quarterbacking duties over to Lamar Jackson.Andrew Luck and the Colts offense didn’t come out with any sort of energy either in their home opener. Luck threw an interception early on after leaving the pocket with good protection, still wasn’t able to find any sort of chemistry with Ryan Grant and struggled to get rid of the ball on time resulting in 2 sacks on his first five drives.Christine Michael was uninspiring, Josh Ferguson was injured early and didn’t return, and the receivers struggled to get separation with any consistency. Unfortunately, after starting out solid in protection, Le’Raven Clark began to have a tough time with the left tackle role.Luck finished his night 6-of-13 for 50 yards and an interception, and I don’t even know if you could say it looked that good.Jacoby Brissett would, however, put the ball in the end zone on his first drive of the night... sort of. Colts’ rookie running back Jordan Wilkins got 4 carries for 21 yards, and Chester Rogers caught Brissett’s first completion which ate up a quick 28 yards up the gut of the Ravens’ defense. The Colts tried to punch it in with Wilkins following several successful runs, but Wilkins coughed it up http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/margus-hunt-jersey , but it squirted into the end zone — right into the waiting hands of Rogers. Largely the Colts’ defense did a nice job of keeping Lamar Jackson contained early on in his night. Jackson started 0-4 and when trying to make something happen with his legs almost cost the Ravens the ball with 4:40 left in the first half.Quincy Wilson stepped up to get underneath Jackson as he began to turn upfield and he nearly fumbled the ball. After review, he was said to have been down by contact and he would live to make another play. Fortunately for the Colts, though, on that very next play Hassan Ridgeway busted through the Ravens offensive line and sacked Jackson forcing another punt. The Colts, up 10-7, would get another drive under Brissett before the end of the half. A penalty on the punt return set the Colts back inside their own 10-yard line, but Michael came back into the game and became a contributor. Brissett extended his drive after the 2-minute warning by picking up 9 yards on a third-down conversion, then hit Michael for a short gain across the middle, but couldn’t convert on third down as Kasen Williams got crossed up with Stanley Jean-Baptiste and wasn’t able to get his eyes back on the ball as it hit him in the chest.Jackson earned his first completion to tight end Kenneth Dixon as he now had a chance to lead his own 2-minute drive. Jackson was able to get the ball to mid-field with a little help of the running game, then hit Hayden Hurst along the boundary for a big third-down conversion. Jackson’s wheels got the Ravens to the 32-yard line and Dixon was able to churn out a 12-yard run to get into scoring territory.The Colts defense ended up doing enough, though, forcing three straight incompletions with a little added pressure to force a field goal to tie the game at 10 apiece.Colts leaders at the half:Chester Rogers | 2 catches for 36 yardsJack Doyle | 2 catches for 32 yardsJordan Wilkins | 4 carries for 21 yardsChristine Michael | 7 carries for 21 yardsDarius Leonard | 7 total tacklesSkai Moore | 4 total tacklesHassan Ridgeway | 3 total tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for lossJohn Simon | 1 tackle http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/nate-hairston-jersey , 1 sack2018 Opponent Scouting Report: Texans special teams and a prediction OverviewOn September 30, 2018 the Indianapolis Colts will host the Houston Texans. In this week four match-up I sought to understand our opponent and get a better idea of how they may attack our new look Colts. The Texans finished 2017 with 4 wins and 12 losses, in what was only their third losing season in the last decade. The last time these two teams faced off the Texans and Colts were both missing their franchise quarterbacks. In the week of practice leading up to the two teams first matchup of 2017, rookie phenom quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with a torn ACL three days before the game, leaving no time for the coaches to adjust the gamplan. As a result, half of the 2017 Indianapolis Colts wins came against the Houston Texans. This year both starting quarterbacks are expected to play in this one, hopefully the results are the same as last season. Let’s figure out what we can expect in week four. Kicker:Photo by Peter Aiken/Getty ImagesKa’imi Fairbairn is 6 for 7 on field goal attempts with a long of 54 yards, while also being 5 for 5 on PAT’s. Fairbairn is a young kicker who has shown real promise. I don’t believe this game comes down to a battle of special teams but the Texans are in good but not great hands if it does come to that. Punter:Trevor Daniel is an undrafted rookie out of Tennessee. So far he’s averaging 42.2 yards per punt. What do you say about a guy who has 13 career punts? I’m actually asking, I have no idea what to say about the guy? I hope he shanks at least one punt this week.Returner:Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsI knew a girl in college named Tyler Ervin, she may have spelled it different, I’m not sure. She always seemed to be around and she usually had a good time. I hope Tyler is doing well. This Tyler Ervin is having a good year as a returner averaging more than 28 yards per kick return and 10 yards per punt return. Hopefully he doesn’t have much success on Sunday but I really just hope we keep him out of the end zone.Final Thoughts for The Week:The Houston Texans shouldn’t be 0-3. They’re better than that. They’ve caught a few bad breaks and are sitting in last place in the AFC South. The Colts can’t overlook this team or they will lose to a team they shouldn’t lose to. The Texans are beatable but they aren’t bad, this is going to be a tough game but luckily it’s in Indy and despite having the (slightly) better record I think the way the Colts lost last week should motivate them to prepare well for this Texans team.
