Game Preview
On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars play host to the Indianapolis Colts for some football action. For the first time in Frank Reich’s career as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, he didn’t lose a game in Week 1 of the NFL season. They’ll need more than steps in the right direction when they return to TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville for the first time since their Week 18 loss in 2021 to the then 2-14 Jaguars; eliminating them from a return to the postseason.
Jacksonville opens up the season at home following a 28-22 loss on the road to the Washington Commanders. Ironically enough, it was last year’s starting quarterback for the Colts, Carson Wentz, that led Washington to a comeback victory against the very team that knocked him out of the playoffs last year.
The Colts had 517 total yards to Houston’s 299. Matt Ryan threw for 352 yards, Jonathan Taylor ran for 161 yards, and Michael Pittman Jr. had 121 receiving yards. Indy also received contributions from many other players. However, the difference in the outcome was a few dropped passes and a missed field goal. Indy is very much a talented team.
Indianapolis should be able to shake whatever it is that haunts them in Jacksonville and beat a Jaguars team that just gave up 390 yards and 28 points to the Washington Commanders. While Indy should win, it’ll probably still be a close game because the Jaguars always play the Colts tough. No matter how close, expect Indy to get its first win this week.
Both Jacksonville and the Colts struggled to stop opposing offenses from scoring in the season opener, and their Week 2 matchup could very well turn into a shootout. Having said that, the Jaguars should be able to fix the issues that ultimately cost them the game against Washington, making this an interesting game to watch.
