Indianapolis Colts: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#20)

Last week: 20 (+0)

Record: 1-1

That’s the reason they drafted him #1. After a rough opener against a strong Chicago defense, Luck was incredibly impressive in his 2nd start, passing for 224 yards on 20 of 31, despite minimal help from his supporting cast. Under pressure on 15 of 37 drop backs, he took just 2 sacks, scrambled 4 times for 21 yards, and completed 6 of 9 for a touchdown and of the 3 incompletions, 1 was dropped, and on 1 he was hit as he threw. In fact, if you take non-targets out of the equation and add in drops (accuracy percentage), he would have been 24 of 29. Luck doesn’t have a ton of help, but he has a very easy schedule, so expect this team to at least win the 6 games Cam Newton did last year, with a 7 or 8 win season being more likely.
