New Orleans Saints 2-4 @ Indianapolis Colts 3-3 1:00 PM ET - TV: FOX Although the Colts brought along bruising back Frank Gore to add another dimension to a prolific offense, the saving grace of OC Pep Hamilton’s unit isn’t going to be the ground game, grounding and pounding the football. The main issue has been ineptness on the offensive line protecting the pocket and creating running lanes. Sprinkle that in with inaccurate throws from QB Andrew Luck (yeah, that’s right, Luck’s ball placement has been off) along with falling behind in the down and distance, and you got yourself an erratic offense. That’s not saying Hamilton’s offense hasn’t made any splash plays – his unit is loaded with talent, but this offense will live and die by the sword of Luck’s arm. Is it Luck’s nicked up shoulder that’s played part in his over and under throws? That could be the case, but whatever the deal is, Hamilton’s unit needs to get some consistent rhythm going for the Colts to be serious contenders and gain separation from their foes in the AFC South. Saints DC Rob Ryan likes to use manufacturing pressure concepts, and knowing Indianapolis’ O-line has struggled to pick up the blitz, look for Ryan to use a few toward Luck. Hamilton has gone with more short concepts for Luck to get the ball to his outlets quickly. …show more content…

    St. Louis Rams’ rookie running back Todd Gurley, the 10th overall pick of this year’s draft, is expected to miss the first few games of the new season to allow complete healing of his ACL injury suffered during his college stint at the University of Georgia in November last year.

    It was increasingly nail-biting for the Patriots fans, especially knowing their previous winning streaks in the past, they had certainly not been so sluggish in a while after turning the ball twice and failing to stop the Falcons run game. At this point, the Patriots averaged with only 2.5 yards per carry, and the daring Falcons reached 9.6 yards. Ryan continued to lead the Falcons in the third quarter, and they trotted 85 yards down the field, and the quarterback yet again made an amazing pass to Tevin Coleman resulting in a touchdown and turning the score to 3-28 to the Patriots. This put the game out of reach and at this point one would think the Patriots would make a
