The Colts became the latest team to hammer the Jaguars at home, winning 27-10 last night in Jacksonville behind two rushing touchdowns from rookie quarterback Andrew Luck.
Darius Butler returned an interception for a score as the Colts (6-3) won their fourth consecutive game and snapped a three-game losing streak in the series. The Jaguars (1-8) have lost six straight.
The Colts had cause for concern following an emotional victory four days earlier, one in which cancer-stricken coach Chuck Pagano delivered a passionate, postgame speech in the locker room. Interim coach Bruce Arians was worried the team might crash from the emotional high.
Not even close. Indianapolis scored on three consecutive possessions in the first half, opening a 17-0 lead.
* For the second straight year, Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been voted the NFL’s dirtiest player in a poll of players by the Sporting News.
Dolphins guard Richie Incognito followed Suh with 19 votes in the poll. Also receiving votes were Rams cornerback Cortland Finnegan, Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Titans offensive tackle David Stewart, Eagles defensive end Jason Babin and Steelers safety Ryan Mundy.
BILLS: Defensive end Chris Kelsay hurt his neck in practice, leaving his status uncertain for Sunday’s game at New England.
BEARS: Cornerback Charles Tillman said on Twitter that he will play Sunday against the Texans. Earlier this week, he told a Chicago radio station he might not play because his wife is due to give birth.
