Colts-Chargers Recap

Recap-Indianapolis Colts 

It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t nearly as dominant as it should have been but the Colts were able to beat the Chargers 29–23 for their 2nd win of the season. Andrew Luck was able to put the Colts on his back and complete his 16th 4th quarter comeback in his career. TY Hilton dominated the Bears secondary with 171 yards and a TD, and Adam Vinatieri was his usual dominant self with 5 FG’s. The defense and the offensive line played very poorly in this game. Andrew Luck was sacked 5 times and pressured into making bad throws a good amount of times as well. The defense could not stop Jordan Howard at all during the game whether it was on the ground or in the air, and Patrick Robinson struggled guarding WR Cameron Meredith and seemed to give up big play after big play. The only reason why the Colts didn’t give up more TD’s is the Bears committed too many penalties to get themselves close enough to the end zone. 

Fantasy

Andrew Luck had a monster day as he threw for 322 yards and two TD’s and no turnovers. He’s done a great job of cutting down on his turnovers this season and so far as a great 10–3 TD-INT ratio. TY Hilton had 171 yards receiving and now has a TD in 3 straight games. Frank Gore had 79 all purpose yards and passed Jim Brown for 9th all time on the all time rushing yards list. Dwayne Allen, Phillip Dorsett, and Quan Bray all contributed to the passing game however I’m not sure I’d roster them except in the deepest of leagues. Adam Vinatieri had a season high 5 FG’s and is definitely a must start at kicker.
