Pass by pass breakdown of Luck vs Redskins

[HtownColt]

Somebody from CBS sports was nice enough to do this breakdown. I found it helpful being that I missed the game because I don't have NFL network at my college(sucks I know)

First Drive (0-0, IND 10: 9 plays, 25 yards, punt)

Third-and-8: Complete, Avery, 9 yards -- Just a simple crossing route pass to Avery, who made a nice run after the catch to pick up the first down.

First-and-10: Complete, Avery, no gain -- Quick screen to Avery, but he has no room.

Second-and-10: Complete, Hilton, 9 yards -- Quick pass to Hilton, who does the rest. This seems to be what the Colts were determined to get going: short passes to Hilton and Avery, preferebly in space, where the dynamic athletes can make a play.

First-and-25: Incomplete (Allen) -- Luck did well to avoid the rush, but he couldn't hit Allen on first and very long.

Second-and-25: Incomplete (Fleener) -- The Colts were just trying to get some sure yards to get to third-and-manageable, but Luck missed Fleener on a short screen.

Second Drive (0-0, IND 8: 6 plays, 11 yards, punt)

First-and-10: Incomplete (Avery) -- Luck threw high on a slant to Avery, and Avery paid for it.

Third-and-6: Complete, Wayne, 14 yards -- Good play by Luck here. Deep in his own territory, oncoming rush, and he steps up and hits Wayne over the middle.

Second-and-17: Complete, Hilton, 6 yards -- After getting blasted by London Fletcher on a blitz, Luck goes short to Hilton for a short gain. Luck was sacked again on third and long.

Third Drive (0-7, IND 20: 11 plays, 75 yards, touchdown)

Second-and-10: Complete, Wayne, 21 yards -- Luck is flushed but finds Wayne for a good gain.

Second-and-3: Incomplete (Wayne) -- Bad throw by Luck on an out pass, behind Wayne, who nearly reaches back and grabs it one-handed.

Third-and-3: Complete, Avery, 7 yards -- Luck gets plenty of time and hits Avery on a short crossing route to pick up the first down.

First-and-10: Complete, Hilton, 8 yards -- Simple flare screen to Hilton who picks up a solid gain on first down. Again, the Colts seem perfectly content throwing short and letting Hilton or Avery make a play.

First-and-10: Incomplete (Wayne) -- Luck as hit as he throws, comes up short for Wayne. Luck was hit plenty more against Washington than he was in either of the first two preseason games.

Third-and-7: Complete, Hilton, 31 yards, touchdown -- Luck was given time and, after stepping up in the pocket, found Hilton streaking down the sideline for a score. Perfect pass.

Fourth Drive (7-14, IND 20: 7 plays, 37 yards, halftime)

First-and-10: Complete, Wayne, 6 yards -- Quick hit to Wayne on a stop route.

Second-and-4: Complete, Avery, 7 yards -- Another quick pass to Avery for the first down.

Second-and-4: Complete, Adams, 18 yards -- After scrambling for six, Luck gets good protection and hits Adams deep over the middle to get across midfield.

First-and-10: Incomplete (Hilton) -- Either Hilton ran a bad route, or there was some sort of miscommunication. Either way, the ball went somewhere Hilton did not go.

Second-and-10: Incomplete (Wayne) -- Luck hit again as he throws, and the pass falls incomplete.

Third-and-10: Incomplete (Adams) -- A lot happened on the last play of the half. Luck chucked a prayer that Adams almost answered (until Adams got his head taken off). Wayne was also shaken up on the play, but turned out fine.

Fifth Drive (7-14, IND 21: 6 plays, 9 yards, punt)

First-and-10: Complete, Avery, 9 yards -- Play-action from the Colts leads to a good pass and catch from Luck to Avery.

Third-and-7: Incomplete (Brown) -- Luck throws high to Brown out of the backfield, ending his day on a sour note.
