JACKSONVILLE - Who could blame the Colts if they seemed a little uneasy with the notion of being a heavy favorite.
After all they are a team that is in year one of rebuilding with an interim coach as their leader deals with Leukemia.
But as a five-win team facing a squad with just one, that's exactly what the team found themselves as Thursday night when they traveled to EverBank Field to face the Jaguars.
Right now the Colts are looking the part of a major favorite, beating the Jaguars 27-10 Thursday night at EverBank Field. Indianapolis improves to 6-3 on the season as they get ready to face the Patriots in Foxborough on November 18th.
Things started quietly for the Colts who used a 44-yard drive to put up their only points of the first quarter-an Adam Vinatieri 31-yard field goal to get the lead.
Luck then had a second quarter where he was able to show off his ability to run the football, first with an eight-yard touchdown run early in the quarter to make it 10-0. Then after a rare turnover, Luck again got to the endzone with a rush, pushing in from one-yard out on fourth down to make it 17-0.
It appeared the Colts would be on their way to scoring again, but a pressured Luck overthrew a receiver deep in Jaguars terriotory and was intercepted by Dawan Landry. Blaine Gabbert then put together a long established drive, setting up Josh Scobee for a 41-yard field goal to make it 17-3.
