The phrase following the New York Jets around since their 31-10 victory last Sunday has to get tiresome after a while. Instead of realizing this is the NFL and any blowout win is a solid performance – Johnny Manziel entrance or not – football pundits around the league have failed to dish out credit in the direction of Todd Bowles and company.
Enter Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts. Not just Andrew Luck, but an angry version of the fourth-year pro out of Stanford.
Last Sunday in Orchard Park, NY, Luck and his Colts were completely manhandled by Rex Ryan and the new bully-like Buffalo Bills 27-14. It was the same old story for Indy. When they lose, they completely get overpowered.
