Eddy Pineiro nailed a 58-yard field goal, and the Bears picked up their first win of the preseason. Yet, the on-field events of Saturday’s action paled in comparison to what happened off of it.
Andrew Luck, the Colts’ four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, shockingly retired at age 29. The news broke in the second half of the game, instantly sending the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium abuzz and shaking the NFL world to its core.
Where Indianapolis goes from here remains to be seen, but Luck’s retirement undoubtedly changes the landscape of not only their long-term plans, but the landscape of the AFC as we know it.
