JACKSONVILLE - The rain started falling well before kickoff and it continued to come down hard when the final whistle blew. The wind was manageable for this game, but the field was a mess and would cause issues for the Colts passing game.

Andrew Luck was not lucky to start the game, taking a hard hit from Chris Clemons on his very first pass attempt. The hit would knock Luck out for a few plays, but that was basically the best Jacksonville's defensive line could muster during the downpour. Luck would give Indy a 7-0 lead with an 11 yard TD pass to Reggie Wayne.

The Jaguars would make things interesting to open the game with an interception on a long pass to Hilton, but the Colts would recover and completely dominate this game on both sides of the ball. Adam Vinatieri would make it 10-3 with a 34 yard FG to open the 2nd quarter, and Josh Scobee would answer back with a 45 yarder to break the shutout.


The Colts running game would help overcome the weather.

A Wayne TD in the 3rd and another Vinatieri FG in the 4th would give the Colts a 20-3 lead and the Jaguars basically folded. The Colts would eat up the clock and add a Trent Richardson TD run for good measure to end the game 27-3. Jacksonville would finish the game with less than 100 yards of total offense and a whopping 7 sacks allowed.
