Indianapolis lost on an interception of a two-point conversion try, but the good news was Andrew Luck played for the first time since last year and was eight-of-eight for 71 yards behind an improved offensive line. Backup quarterback Scott Tolzien also was effective completing 13 of 18 passes for 107 yards with no interceptions. In addition, the Colts gained 93 yards on the ground on 23 carries. Philadelphia beat Pittsburgh 17-0, however, the Eagles had the luxury of playing against Landry Jones, who threw four interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown by Nolan Carroll. Sam Bradford was 14-of-19 for 115 yards and Chase Daniel 10 of 16 for 82 yards. Carson Wentz is still recovering from an injury and won't play in this game but he's hoping he'll be ready for Week 4 action. The Colts lost their first two preseason games last year and then came back with a 24-14 win over the Rams in Week 3. The Eagles won their first home game and then beat rival Pittsburgh, but now they have another road contest against a Colts team that expects to play its starters for at least a half and have Luck and Tolzien both playing well. Lay the points on the Colts.
