KEY GAME INFORMATION
INDIANAPOLIS: Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's ground-and-pound power running game never got going last year, due in part to an offensive line in flux but mostly due to the atrociousness of Trent Richardson. It's a gap-blocking scheme that suits Richardson's skill set, and the third-year back may just need more time in the offense. The Colts get more run-heavy as they approach the goal line, and they had little success inside the opponent's 10 last year. Richardson will likely have a monster workload, especially from in close. Ahmad Bradshaw and Vick Ballard are both coming off major injuries as they battle for the No. 2 job. Bradshaw's receiving skills could give him an edge.
Hamilton and Andrew Luck are still finding their way in this offense, as they face a lot of third-and-longs early in games and often end up doing most throwing in comeback efforts. They'll move Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton and tight end Dwayne Allen around in formations to create mismatches, especially with Allen spending time in the backfield and flexed out. Coming off an up-and-down year as the primary TE, Coby Fleener will likely go back to stretching the seam now that Allen is healthy. Hakeem Nicks will stretch the field on the perimeter while Donte Moncrief serves as his understudy. Fleener was targeted most often when they threw in the red zone last season, but it could be Allen that receives those targets in 2014. Nicks could be in for a big red-zone role this season.
The Colts made great strides last year, and could again finish among the top-10 scoring defenses due to having the NFL's easiest schedule. It also helps to have outside linebacker Robert Mathis who led the NFL with 19.5 sacks. New DL Arthur Jones and LB D'Qwell Jackson will help, but losing safety Antoine Bethea hurts.
JACKSONVILLE: The Jaguars will undoubtedly have to abandon the run when they fall behind in games, but until then it's going to be all Toby Gerhart all the time. Jacksonville made the switch to a zone-blocking scheme last year with mixed results. A second full offseason to implement the scheme should lead to improvement, and Gerhart will likely see a lot of work on inside zone plays. Gerhart will retain his feature role when the Jaguars approach the goal line, but this team went play-action fairly often in this area last year. Jordan Todman will be a seldom-used back- up. It's unclear whether the Jags can figure out how to get anything out of Denard Robinson, whose 'offensive weapon' tag was removed.
Offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch wants to get receivers downfield and put pressure on opposing safeties, with the quarterback making a high-to-low read. But this rapidly devolved into checkdown city last season in the absence of Justin Blackmon and, for a time, Cecil Shorts. They'll play a three-wide base, with Shorts as the X-receiver to go along with some combination of Marqise Lee, Ace Sanders, Allen Robinson and Mike Brown. Shorts is the field stretcher, but he will likely run more possession routes to make up for the absence of the suspended Blackmon. Gerhart will have a big role as a receiver, as tight end Marcedes Lewis figures to stay in to block often once again. Shorts and Lewis were targeted often in the end zone last season, and that trend should continue.
Defensive coordinator Bob Babich improved this unit in his first year with the Jags in 2013, but they still have too many holes to be a feared NFL defense. Former Seahawks defensive ends Chris Clemons and Red Bryant will improve a porous pass rush, but this unit will be on the field way too much due to a horrible offense.

*Colts-Jaguars Preview* =======================

By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and coach Chuck Pagano have experienced back-to-back losses for the first time in their two-plus seasons with the team.

History suggests another defeat this week would make it nearly impossible for the Colts to reach the playoffs for a third consecutive year.

The Colts will try to avoid dropping to 0-3 in Sunday's road game against the winless Jacksonville Jaguars, who are expected to keep Chad Henne as their starting quarterback over rookie Blake Bortles.

Luck looked like he was guiding Indianapolis to victory against Philadelphia on Monday, throwing two touchdown passes in the first half and putting the Colts ahead 20-6 with less than seven minutes to go in the third quarter.

Indianapolis couldn't hang on, allowing the Eagles to rally for a 30-27 win.

After making an ill-advised quarterback sneak in 31-24 loss in Denver on Sept. 7, Luck threw an interception with 5:15 remaining Monday that took away the chance at a potential clinching field goal and started Philadelphia toward a tying touchdown.

"It appeared we had that game won and we let it slip away," coach Chuck Pagano said. "I'll start with myself. I've got to do a better job. We've got to coach better, we've got to play better."

Trent Richardson's fumble late in the third quarter also led to a TD, and Indianapolis is 0-2 for the first time since 2011, when it lost its first 13 games while Peyton Manning sat out with a neck injury.

That start put the Colts in position to draft Luck with the No. 1 pick.

Indianapolis is already facing difficult odds to reach the postseason. Only 12 percent of teams that have started 0-2 since 1990 have made it, and an 0-3 start has proved significantly more daunting to overcome.

Since 1970, five of the 197 teams that have dropped their first three games have reached the playoffs (2.5 percent) and none have done it since the 1998 Buffalo Bills.

"You can point out every week if we did this, this and this we'd be 2-0," Pagano said Tuesday. "We have 14 games left and the only that matters right now is Jacksonville and that's the next one. The record is the record. We're not going to sit there and dwell on anything other than Jacksonville."

The Colts have struggled to overcome the absence of reigning NFL sack champion Robert Mathis, out for the season with a torn Achilles. They have one sack and might not have one of their top free-agent signees, defensive lineman Arthur Jones, available for the next few weeks because of a sprained right ankle.

The team signed undrafted rookie Kelcy Quarles to replace Jones, but Sunday's matchup could provide a boost to the scuffling pass rush.

Jacksonville gave up a team-record 10 sacks in a 41-10 rout by Washington on Sunday and has retooled its offensive line for this game. Sam Young will start at right tackle after Cam Bradfield was waived, and Luke Bowanko will make his first career start at center.

The Jaguars will keep Henne as the starting quarterback with No. 3 overall draft pick Bortles staying on the sidelines. With Henne at the helm, the Jaguars produced 148 yards against the Redskins.

"It's too early to push the panic button," said running back Toby Gerhart, who had eight yards on seven carries. "We're 0-2, two games on the road. Starting off against two good defenses on the road. We're looking forward to playing at home, right the ship and get rolling."

Henne won't have tight end Marcedes Lewis to target after he was placed on short-term injured reserve, but the team's top receiver from 2013, Cecil Shorts III, is expected to make his season debut after being sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Marqise Lee, who is tied with Lewis for the team lead with eight receptions, has also been ruled out after hurting his hamstring in Wednesday's practice.

Safety Jonathan Cyprien (concussion) has been cleared to resume activities, but it's uncertain when he'll return to a unit that's given up a league-worst 75 points and the fourth-most yards (869).

The Colts have allowed the third-most points at 61 and rank just below Jacksonville in yards allowed at 819. They've won three in a row over the Jaguars, however, and another victory would give them the longest win streak in the series since taking the first five meetings.

Indianapolis will also be trying for a series high-tying third consecutive victory in Jacksonville.
