Luck completed 35-of-53 passes for 370 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Broncos. He added 19 yards and another score on five carries.
Luck did make some poor throws, but the second interception wasn't his fault, as TE Coby Fleener let a ball go through his hands. After watching the Broncos storm out to a 24-0 lead on four first-half drives, Luck and the Colts scored a touchdown of their own before halftime, and then nearly erased a 31-10 deficit in the fourth quarter. Ultimately, the comeback bid fell just a bit short, though it undoubtedly gave Luck's fantasy owners plenty to be happy about. The young quarterback completed passes to eight different players, notably hooking up with Reggie Wayne for nine receptions and 98 yards on 13 targets. Luck draws a somewhat similar matchup next week, with Colts-Eagles having the look of a shootout, even though the Philly D shouldn't be taken lightly.

Luck was 10-of-18 passing for 103 yards with a touchdown and interception in Saturday's preseason loss to New Orleans.
It wasn't a great outing from Luck as he had several overthrows and a surprising interception on a poorly thrown ball. Most of Luck's errors were unforced, so there's no reason to read too much into his performance. He'll likely skip the final preseason game and be ready for Week 1.

Luck completed 4-of-5 passes for 53 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Jets.
Luck played well on his only drive, which ended with a field goal after a botched snap prevented the Colts from having a chance to convert on third down. With Reggie Wayne (knee) sidelined, three of Luck's completions went to T.Y. Hilton, and the fourth to offseason acquisition Hakeem Nicks. Given that Wayne is expected to return by the end of the preseason, Luck should head into 2014 with easily the best supporting cast of his career. While the Colts have no shortage of targets for Luck to throw to, the running game may be a problem area once again. Trent Richardson finished Thursday's contest with just 13 yards on five carries, despite picking up eight yards on his first tote.
Thu Jul 31 201409:56Colts want to score any way necessary
ESPN's Colts reporter says Andrew Luck will have "plenty of opportunities to throw the ball" this season.
The insinuation is that stubborn OC Pep Hamilton will relent on his forced power-running obsession and take the shackles off Luck. Beat man Mike Wells says the Colts now simply want to score points whichever way necessary. It should be a no-brainer philosophy change with the interior offensive line in shambles, question marks at running back, improved weaponry in the pass game and Luck ready to emerge as a generational talent.

Tue May 27 201409:48Colts OC: We're going to be score-first team
Colts OC Pep Hamilton said he's taken a "score-first" mindset heading into his second season on the job.
Hamilton preached and practiced (without much success) a run-first, physical style of offense as a rookie NFL coordinator last season. He's come to realize that he can't jam a square peg into a round hole. Hamilton has one of the game's better quarterbacks in Andrew Luck and a loaded arsenal of pass catchers. "We're going to do whatever we need to do to score one more point than our opponent," Hamilton said. Luck isn't going to drop back 700 times, but he could flirt with close to 600 attempts and remains in the bottom half of the QB1 mix.

Thu Jan 30 201410:42Pep Hamilton wanted to run, and run some more
Vick Ballard said OC Pep Hamilton's philosophy was "we're going to run the ball on first, second and third down."
Ballard didn't get a chance to participate in the run-heavy gameplans due to a September ACL tear, but he had to watch with the rest of us as Hamilton took the ball out of Andrew Luck's hands. The Colts repeatedly fell behind while sticking with the run, only to watch Luck bring them back from huge deficits once asked to carry the team. He finished the season 11th in pass attempts (570) and 13th in yards (3,822), criminal numbers for one of the game's best quarterbacks. We suspect Hamilton will lean toward the pass more in 2014 once he assesses where his top talent lies.

Sun Dec 29 201315:26Colts rest Luck for 2nd half of Week 17 win
The Colts rested Andrew Luck in the second half of Week 17 in favor of Matt Hasselbeck after Luck completed 26-of-37 passes for 282 yards and a touchdown in Indy's floor-wiping of Jacksonville.
The Colts had a 27-3 lead at the time of Hasselbeck's insertion. Luck puts a bow on his second NFL regular season with 3,822 passing yards and a 23:9 TD-to-INT ratio, cutting his turnovers dramatically from his rookie year and improving both his completion rate and quarterback rating. Armed with a more explosive pass-catching corps than he began the season, Luck enters the playoffs playing some of his best football of the year. The Colts wound up winning the AFC South in a landslide, finishing with an 11-5 record for the second straight season.

Sun Dec 15 201316:24Colts lay the smackdown on HOU in easy win
Andrew Luck completed 19-of-32 passes for 180 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Indianapolis' 25-3, Week 15 beatdown of the Texans.
With the Colts in control from the opening possession, Luck attempted only one fourth-quarter pass in a game where Houston didn't compete. Luck's pick was a badly under-thrown deep ball to Da'Rick Rogers near the goal line, but it made little difference in a game where Indy was never threatened. It certainly had something to do with Houston's non-competitive nature, but Indy looked far more competent on offense this afternoon, actually appearing as if it had a game-plan. Luck will remain a borderline QB1 in Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Sun Dec 8 201317:42Luck throws for 326 yards, 4 TDs in loss
Andrew Luck completed 29-of-46 passes for 326 yards and four touchdowns in Week 14 against the Bengals.
Luck also led the Colts in rushing with 32 yards on two attempts. The Colts were playing from behind all day long, leading to a ton of work for the passing game. The coaching staff finally turned away from Darrius Heyward-Bey, giving more reps to youngsters Da'Rick Rogers and LaVon Brazill. Luck hooked up with each for a pair of touchdowns. The Indianapolis offensive line didn't surrender one sack for the first time all season. Luck will be a locked-in QB1 next week against a Texans team that is just going through the motions.

Sun Dec 1 201316:33Andrew Luck struggles but Colts win
Andrew Luck completed 17-of-32 throws for 200 yards and an interception in the Colts' Week 13 win over the Titans.
He added five scrambles for 42 yards, including a 24-yard keeper around right tackle on the Colts' most momentous drive of the game, in the fourth quarter. Luck absorbed five sacks, including four in the second quarter alone. The Colts' pass protection is atrocious, and lately Luck has been exacerbating the problems by holding onto the ball too long, as if he's become shell shocked. He'll only be a borderline QB1 in Week 14 at Cincinnati.

Sun Dec 1 201312:41Colts 'concerned' about rookie OC Hamilton
NFL Network's Mike Silver reports Colts OC Pep Hamilton is "under pressure" within the organization to "step up his game" after so many slow offensive starts over the past several weeks.
Two sources tell Silver that Hamilton "might be having a tough time adjusting" to the NFL as a rookie coordinator coming from Stanford. The transition was expected to be smooth based on Hamilton's familiarity with Andrew Luck and Coby Fleener, but has been the opposite. The Colts have prioritized scheme over personnel under Hamilton, taking a big step back from the all-too-brief Bruce Arians era. There is reportedly a belief at Colts headquarters that Hamilton has "struggled to free up receivers" like T.Y. Hilton, and his system has lacked imagination and aggressiveness. If the Colts keep playing as they've been playing, Pep the Playcaller could be one-and-done in Indy.

Sun Nov 24 201319:27Luck and the Colts get blown out in Arizona
Andrew Luck completed 20-of-39 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Colts' 40-11, Week 12 blowout loss in Arizona.
Luck's offensive line cannot hold blocks long enough for anything to develop down field, even though they surrendered just one sack. The second-year stud quarterback posted a pitiful 4.2 YPA on Sunday. He also led the regulars in rushing with 31 yards on two carries. Trent Richardson and Donald Brown combined for 16 yards on nine totes. Luck's No. 1 receiver, T.Y. Hilton, was blanketed by Patrick Peterson all afternoon and hurt his shoulder in the process, though he missed just a couple plays. On his touchdown pass, Luck hooked up with Coby Fleener from 17 yards away in garbage time. His interception was a brutal pick-six to Karlos Dansby in the second quarter. Luck threw off his back foot as he was falling away on the play. The 7-4 Colts host the Titans next week. Luck tossed for 232 yards against Tennessee in Week 11.

Thu Nov 14 201323:35Luck manages rushing TD in narrow victory
Andrew Luck completed 23-of-36 passes for 232 yards in Indianapolis' 30-27 Week 11 win over the Titans, adding nine rushes for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Luck's 11-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter - which included the second-year quarterback faking LE Derrick Morgan out of his shoes - saved what would have otherwise been a highly forgettable fantasy effort. Luck spent the entire first half throwing off his back foot, as the Colts' sieve-like offensive line had two of its worst quarters of the season. The whole offense settled down after the break, however, with Luck striking up a nice connection with Coby Fleener. Life hasn't been easy for Luck without Reggie Wayne, but he appears to be slowly adjusting. Luck will be a borderline QB1 in Week 12 against the Cardinals.

Sun Nov 10 201315:54Andrew Luck throws for three picks in loss
Andrew Luck completed 29-of-47 passes for 353 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Indianapolis' Week 10 loss to the Rams.
He was pulled mid-way through the fourth quarter with Indy trailing 38-8. As has been the case for the most of the season, Luck was the victim of horrible pass blocking and questionable play calling, but he deserves a large share of the blame for his worst start of the year. Luck spent the first half overthrowing everybody in sight, stared down his receiver on his first pick and overthrew Coby Fleener on his second. The third came on a tipped pass in the end zone. Luck was throwing a much crisper ball in the second half, but it was far too little, too late in a game Indy trailed 28-0 at the break. Luck is too good not to get back on track in Thursday's game against the Titans.

Sun Nov 3 201323:54Luck leads Colts to comeback win over Texans
Andrew Luck completed 18-of-40 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday night's Week 9 win over the Texans.
Luck struggled to get anything going early, but was able to connect with T.Y. Hilton for all three of his touchdowns in the second half. Playing without Reggie Wayne, he completed just 45 percent of his passes and averaged 6.8 yards per attempt. It was another impressive fourth quarter comeback from Luck, who's on pace for 3,690 yards, 36 touchdowns, and six interceptions through eight games. He'll remain a QB1 for next week's matchup against the Rams.

Mon Oct 21 201300:32Andrew Luck outplays Manning in SNF win
Andrew Luck completed 21-of-38 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday night's Week 7 win over the Broncos.
He added four carries for 29 yards and a scored on a 10-yard scramble in the third quarter. Luck threw all three of his touchdowns in the first half and relied mostly on the short-to-intermediate passing game. He didn't have any turnovers and managed to outplay Peyton Manning, but couldn't get anything going downfield with T.Y. Hilton, averaging just 6.0 yards-per-attempt. Through seven games, Luck has 1,574 passing yards (224.9 YPG) and 13 total touchdowns. He'll be a recommended QB1 start when the Colts come out of their bye in Week 9 against the Texans.
