Luck needs help from his running game this week.
This week the Indianapolis Colts are heading down south to Jacksonville in search of their first win, as the Jaguars hope to find their first win on their home confines of Everbank Field in Jacksonville. The game is scheduled at 1pm EST, and by later that afternoon, one of the two will have something in the W column finally. This week's game can be watched online via live stream below (free with subscription), or on the CBS Television network.
Both teams are competing to come out of the cellar in the AFC South, but at least the Colts have somewhat of an offense to speak of. They have scored 51 points over two games, while the Jaguars have only accumulated 27. The Colts should be able to continue to put points up against the Jags; they faced the strong Broncos and Eagles in the first two matchups, but the Jaguars shouldn't be a tough of an opponent. Running back Trent Richardson has 99 yards on 27 carries so far this year, so he would like to add to that in a big way on Sunday. If he can get going, it should open up Andrew Luck and the long ball even more.
On Defense, Vontae Davis has been a shutdown defensive back, only allowing one catch thrown his way versus the Broncos last week. The Colt's defense needs to figure out how to stop the run, if they want to win. Lesean McCoy and Darren Sproles combined for 100+ yards on the ground against them, with a couple of moral destroying scores coming out of their efforts.
Jacksonville's O-line needs to do more this week.
The Jaguars will need Linebacker Erik Walden to step it up and put pressure on Luck, if they want a chance at the win. They are going to need to get into the Colt's backfield and disrupt plays early. If Safety Josh Evans can help out, and maybe force some turnovers when the pressure is on Luck, then the Colts could have some positive results.
On Offense, the Jaguars are hoping to protect the quarterback better. Chad Henne has been sacked 10 times so far, so how the Offensive Line plays this week will be a key to victory for the team. They will have a hard time establishing any kind of offense with Henne on his back the enitre game.
