sing streak with a dominating performance against the Buffalo Bills. Entering the game http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/darius-leonard-jersey , the Colts were 0-2 against the AFC East, securing a much-needed win as they head on the road to Oakland. Let’s look at grades for Week 7. Warning: These grades might be high. Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsOffense: AIt was a day to remember for the Colts on offense, and we’re not even talking about the passing game — although Andrew Luck completed four touchdown passes and nearly 160 yards. The Bills came into Week 7 with a defense that ranked top-5 in terms of total yards and yards per play. While most of the football spectrum will be impressed with Luck’s multitude of touchdowns and lack of sacks, the spotlight needs to be on the running game. Before Sunday, Buffalo was 6th in the league in terms of defending the ground game, giving up just 3.8 yards per attempt. Along with a strong rush defense, the secondary was doing an admirable job as well, giving up less than six yards per attempt through the air (5.7, ranking 3rd in the NFL). Those numbers will be different come Monday.Indianapolis finished the win with 220 yards on the ground http://www.authenticsindianapoliscolts.com/cheap-clayton-geathers-jersey , a number that has been unheard of for sometime for the Colts’ offense. Indianapolis had their best game, by far, on the ground and it all started with a healthy Marlon Mack, who’s proving to be a game changer if he’s 100 percent. The former USF star put together 126 yards on 19 carries — which was his first career game over 100 yards. Nyheim Hines was also a big factor in the Colts’ ground attack, picking up 47 yards on just five carries.Frank Reich’s brilliant schemes came to fruition against the Bills, let’s hope this a good sign moving forward. Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsDefense: ACorey Moore’s interception off a tipped pass from Quincy Wilson was the icing on the cake for a defensive unit looking to gain much-needed momentum. That turnover gave Indianapolis five on the day. It wasn’t just the turnovers, however, it was way the Colts were able to get them. Indianapolis pressured Derek Anderson into an interception by Kenny Moore and the Colts took advantage with a 20-yard score from Mack. The Colts got turnovers and took an opportunity to capitalize on them. Moments like that are huge. Mike Mitchell, who has been a Colt for just twelve days White Anthony Walker Jersey , has two interceptions in two games. Even when Clayton Geathers comes back into the lineup, Mitchell will be a huge asset moving forward. Another bright spot on the day was the emergence of Kemoko Turay. Chris Ballard graded Turay highly coming out Rutgers because of his ability to release from the line, and that skillset showed when he forced a fumble on a strip-sack on Anderson. That turnover turned into points after Wilson returned it to the 2-yard-line.The defense was awesome in Week 7, let’s hope this is a sign for things to come.Colts Report Card: Grading the offensive performance against Texans in week 4 Passing Offense: B+Andrew Luck was Andrew Luck, as expected, against the Texans — and it was a type of game fans could breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the quarterback launch a ball 54 yards to the end-zone at the end of the first half.

While Luck connected on many throws that were between 0-8 yards, that was to be expected because of the fact Luck needed to get the ball out of his hands quickly to avoid being sacked by JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. Luck finished with a career-high in passing yards with 464, and that number should’ve been higher if not for all the drops his wide receivers and tight ends endured throughout the course of the game. Another bright spot of the offense was the emergence of running back Nyheim Hines, who tallied a team-high with nine catches that went for 63 yards and two touchdowns. This was a huge part of the offense because of the fact the Colts struggled to get any sort of run-game going. Hines’ play from the backfield was an extension of the ground attack Youth Quincy Wilson Jersey , and if the offense can’t get any rushing attack moving then Hines is expected to see an even high workload. While he didn’t finish the game, T.Y. Hilton found his stride and ended his day with 115 yards on four catches. He’s expected to be out against the Patriots on Thursday, but moving forward his performance against the Texans was a good sign. Another good sign came in the second half from other wide receivers. Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers, and Ryan Grant combined for 19 catches and 204 yards. It was a sight to see after the abysmal first half. Those three will be critical with Hilton expected to be sidelined with a hamstring injury. The play-calling was up and down at times, including at the end of the game. Reich’s choice to go for it on 4th down from the Indianapolis 43-yard-line with less than 30 seconds left in overtime gifted the Texans a great chance at a field goal. Reich went for the win, and that’s a testament to his aggressive play-calling. “We’re not playing to tie. We’re going for it 10 times out of 10,” Reich said after the game, per Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star.Rushing Offense: FPhoto by Bobby Ellis/Getty ImagesThe Colts rank 29th in the league in rushing at 72.4 yards a game Youth Darius Leonard Jersey , and that number was even lower against the Texans — due to numerous reasons. Indianapolis finished with 41 yards on the ground, but that was in large part to the offensive line struggling to get off the ball and the team falling behind 18 points, forcing Frank Reich to call more pass plays. The leading rusher on the afternoon was Jordan Wilkins, who finished with just eight touches for 16 yards. The longest rush for the game (seven yards) came from three different rushers — Luck, Wilkins, and Hines. The Colts need to find some sort of ground game to keep Luck from getting hit on every single possession. For the most part, the offensive line is holding up for as many dropbacks they have to endure. While Hines catching balls out of the backfield is an extension of the ground game, Reich needs to figure some way to get that aspect of the field moving.
