When the Colts have the ball: Andrew Luck came out of the gate firing on Houston’s hapless secondary in the best QB performance of wild-card weekend. Amazingly, he wasn’t sacked for the seventh time in the Colts’ past 12 games, and he led long TD drives on three of Indy’s first four possessions, getting T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron involved early.
If Luck’s was the best QB performance to open the playoffs, RB Marlon Mack might have been the singular most impressive player. He rushed for a career-high 148 yards on 24 carries against one of only two NFL defenses that didn’t allow a 100-yard runner during the season.
