As predicted, Hines was Rivers’ favourite target in the passing game, hauling in 8 of his 9 targets for 45 yards and a score. Hines has blazing speed and runs some crisp routes out of the backfield. He is quite limited as a runner but his receiving ability will make him a staple in this Colts offense, especially with Mack out for the season.
Surprisingly, the Jags defensive linemen got the best of the Colts o-line in the running game, as Nelson, Kelly, and Glowinski failed to open up holes, the bread and butter for the Colts’ offense last season.
