Jordan Wilkins Jersey , some he made.When it mattered most, he was almost perfect. Luck shook off two interceptions and capped a methodical drive with his second touchdown of the game to help the Colts beat the Washington Redskins 21-9 Sunday and pick up their first victory of the season.Luck was 21 of 31 for 179 yards and had a TD pass in a 25th consecutive game, the longest active streak in the NFL. He was 7 of 8 for 62 yards on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that culminated in a Luck-to-T.Y. Hilton score that put Indianapolis (1-1) up 21-9 early in the fourth quarter."When we needed to, we put a drive together and got points," Luck said. "On the longer drive where we ended up with a touchdown, everybody, we all just did our jobs and we did them well."Executing first-year coach Frank Reich's creative play-calling scheme, Luck also found Eric Ebron for a touchdown on the game's opening drive. The balanced offensive attack with 27 rushing and 31 passing attempts kept the Redskins' defense off balance and allowed Luck to pick apart a secondary that struggled in coverage and tackling.The Colts avoided starting 0-2 for the first time since 2013."We felt like we let one slip last week," Hilton said. "In the third quarter we kind of went back to our ways and then we picked it up in the fourth quarter and got it going."After putting up a Week 1-best 182 rushing yards, the Redskins (1-1) put up just 65 yards on 22 carries. Adrian Peterson was limited to 20 yards on 11 carries, and receiver Jamison Crowder was actually Washington's leading rusher with 29 yards on two sweep plays.Dropped balls and shoddy offensive line play hampered QB Alex Smith on a day he was 33 of 46 for 292 yards."Our running game suffered and we were pretty much one-dimensional," coach Jay Gruden said. "We didn't have a very good run plan. ... Didn't give (Peterson) any good looks.LEONARD TIMEColts rookie linebacker Darius Leonard was a disruptive force in run and pass defense.

Authentic Eric Ebron Jersey , sacked Smith and forced Jordan Reed to fumble in the fourth quarter, the play that sent fans to the exits."He's been doing that all camp," defensive lineman Al Woods said. "It was a matter of time before he brought it out. Kudos to him: He brought it out at the right time and we love him for that."EMPTY SEATSGood seats in the second deck were still available well into the second half in the first non-sellout of a Redskins home game since 1967. Fans who did make the trip booed the Redskins at the two-minute warning in the second quarter and off the field at halftime."If you don't give them anything to cheer about, they're probably going to boo," said left tackle Trent Williams, who was twice flagged for false starts.The paid attendance was listed as 57,013.INJURIESColts: DL Hassan Ridgeway left in the second quarter with a calf injury. ... CB Quincy Wilson was evaluated for a concussion and did not return. ...

Williams went down with a knee injury and said he still has complications from offseason surgery. He returned to the game. ... WR Maurice Harris was inactive for a second straight week with a concussion.QUOTABLEReich on blown leads: "There's probably a moment in there where some people are saying, 'Oh here we go again' when the third quarter starts. That thought probably went through everybody's mind. That's fair. That's fair until we prove otherwise."UP NEXTColts: Visit the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.Redskins: Host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.AP Pro Football Writer Howard Fendrich contributed.Colts are Noticeably Absent from ESPN’s Top 100 List The Colts have a very young, very inexperienced roster that is largely being underestimated by the NFL as a whole. It hasn’t been greatly surprising to see analysts who are unwilling to give the Colts much if any chance at all to make an impact in the coming season. However, while there are many spots on the roster that have questions surrounding them, there are a couple that don’t. Andrew Luck has looked like himself this preseason, making great throws, showing his excellent pocket movement
Youth Matt Slauson Jersey , and even exhibiting a willingness to run when the possibility presents itself, but slide when prudent rather than take big and unnecessary hits. At peak form, you’d be hard pressed to find 5 quarterbacks who are better than Andrew Luck. That is why it was so surprising to see that no Colts made ESPN’s top 100 list heading into the 2018 season. There seems to be a healthy dose of skepticism about whether or not Luck is going to be able to play like himself. A month ago I might have understood that sentiment. However, the evidence is now on film to be seen that the guy is back. His accuracy and ball placement have been as good as ever and on full display.Regardless, if the fact that his fastball doesn’t seem to have snapped all the way back yet bothers people, I suppose I could understand that. However, there are fourteen--yes, *fourteen* other quarterbacks who made this list. The level of absurdity and disrespect here is just silly. But let’s just say that is fine. We understand. He is returning from injury and you just aren’t sure he can be as good as someone like Cam Newton or Alex Smith. Personally, I’d say you don’t know much about football, but you have a right to your deeply flawed view. What is not forgivable is the treatment of receiver T.Y. Hilton. There are also fourteen wide receivers on this travesty of a list. Somehow, the 2016 receiving yards leader, the guy who has, across the length of his career
http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-andrew-luck-jersey , averaged 1,137.8 yards and 5.7 touchdowns per season as well as 15.8 yard per reception, is not fit to compare to guys like Adam Thielen, Tyreek Hill, and Jarvis Landry. Larry Fitzgerald, who will be 35 when the season kicks off, rounds out the bottom of the list, but no Hilton is to be found. The absence of these two from this list is nonsense. Proof that recency bias rules the NFL and those who write about it, and that after just one year, people have forgotten how incredible the Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton connection has been since 2012. I don’t expect this list to hold up well in the coming season. What Colts fans can and should take away from this kind of slipshod analysis is that the national media cannot be relied upon to give you an accurate picture of what this team is capable of. When you hear them talking about how bad this roster is, remember lists like this. There is plenty of reason to have hope for this team in the coming season, even if many are too shortsighted and uninformed to see it.
