The Colts beat the Jaguars in the season opener, leaving them 1-0 atop the AFC South with the Titans, Texans, and Jags all losing their first game. Just 15 more wins, and we’re in the playoffs!
The defense looked stout. Manning, Wayne, and Clark all looked good as usual (a little rust notwithstanding). The big tragedy was Anthony Gonzalez going out with a knee injury. (Will this be the Curse of Marvin? All the right side receivers going out with knee injuries? *Cue scary music*). Our running game looked pretty anemic though.
For a (very) amateur football watcher like me, it’s too early to draw any conclusions. Maybe the Jaguars were a weak team that we just barely beat, and this bodes ill for the future. Maybe they’re a powerhouse and other teams will fall like houses of cards. Probably something in the middle. I’m just happy that football season has started.
