This will be a big test for the Colts. The Byron Leftwich injury hurts the Jags’ chances of ending Indy’s perfect season, but Leftwich wasn’t the main reason Jacksonville had a shot in the first place. The Jaguars always play the Colts tough defensively, and considering the game is in Jacksonville, this one should be very interesting.
Still, if the Jags are going to have a chance, they need to keep the score close so they can keep running the ball with Greg Jones and Fred Taylor. Leftwich’s replacement, David Garrard, won’t be able to keep up with the Colts if they start pouring on the points early, but as long as Jacksonville’s D keeps the score tight, the Jaguars should be able to grind out some clock when they have the ball and really give the Colts a run for their money.
It’s games like this that make you wonder why you haven’t taken the plunge yet and ordered NFL Sunday Ticket. Can’t we just move this one to 8:30 and take that dreadful Packers/Lions game off ESPN’s Sunday Night match-up?
