https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Andrew-Luck-Jersey , Marshall Faulk, Eric Dickerson and Lydell Mitchell. How about Marlon Mack? In just his second season with Indianapolis, Mack bested the Colts franchise record for most yards in a playoff game. Mack was the catalyst for the offense’s 200 yard rushing day, another Colts record. Saturday, the Colts ran the ball 35 times for 200 yards, 148 of which were attributed Mack. The Texans’ run defense was ranked first in the regular season, allowing the fewest rushing yards per game and the league’s fewest yards per carry (3.4). Mack was fast out of the chute with 8 yards on the first drive and 65 yards in the first quarter alone. “We came into this game saying we need to dominate up front, we need to play, we need to run the football, and we need to stop the run,”Colts head coach Frank Reich told the media after Saturday’s game. “To roll off 200 yards against that defense is unbelievable. That’s just a real credit to the offensive line and our running backs and tight ends. I can’t say enough about that.”Mack attended the University of South Florida for three years before entering the NFL draft in 2017. During his stellar career at USF he rushed for 3 Josh Ferguson Jersey ,609 yards, 586 carries and 32 touchdowns. The Colts selected Mack in the fourth round of the NFL draft, making him the first running back to be selected from USF. He entered the 2018 season as the Colts’ primary running back after Frank Gore departed in free agency. After suffering a hamstring injury in the first preseason game, he was inactive during the Colts’ season opening loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was then sidelined weeks three through five due to an aggravated hamstring. After week seven, Mack returned and ended the regular season with 908 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He also became the third player in Colts history behind Eric Dickerson and Edgerrin James to have multiple games with at least 125 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the same season. Of course Mack’s performance hinged on the excellence of the Colts’ offensive line against the Texans. On the second drive of the game, Mack took a handoff from Luck while guard Quenton Nelson bulldozed Texans’ linebacker Jadeveon Clowney and center Ryan Kelly did the same upfield, paving the way for Mack to drive 25 yards. “Those guys helped me today,” Mack told the Indy Star. “They got me to the second level.”That’s certainly the understatement of the postseason to date. The Colts are now turning their attention to Kansas City’s No. 1 offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Should the offensive line repeat their performance in the same way they did against Houston, Mack could break the bank against a suspect Chiefs defense. Kansas City is currently second to last in the NFL in yards per rush. The Colts will travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Chiefs on Saturday at 4:25 pm Eastern. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Adam Vinatieri just needed some time to clear his head.The rumored retirement apparently was never under consideration.In his first public comments since leaving the stadium Sunday, the NFL’s career scoring leader explained he misspoke when saying he would answer questions on the players’ normal day off — a comment that drove speculation about Vinatieri’s possible NFL exit.“That was one of those situations where I was walking out of the locker room and you guys were talking to me and to be quite frank, for two decades we’ve always had open locker rooms on a Monday. Granted T.J. Green Color Rush Jersey , our schedule has changed now, as of last year,” Vinatieri said.“When I walked out and said ‘I’ll talk to you guys on Monday,’ I just needed a little bit more time and none of us should assume stuff.”It’s certainly been an unusual stretch for the 46-year-old kicker.He missed part of training camp and part of the preseason with knee tendinitis in his plant leg. Then he missed two field goals and an extra point — a career first — in a season-opening overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and two more extra points in Sunday’s 19-17 victory at Tennessee.Vinatieri has made only 3 of 8 kicks to open the season, has already matched a career high for extra points missed in a single season. He’s also missed an extra point in three straight games and four of the past five, including two playoff games last season.Team owner Jim Irsay acknowledged Sunday the misses have become a “concern,” and now fans are openly debating whether Father Time has finally caught up to the seemingly ageless Vinatieri, who was long ago dubbed the best clutch kicker in NFL history.His teammates are still believers.“People are like ‘He’s missing, he’s missing,’ and I’m like, ‘Man https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Matthias-Farley-Jersey , he’s the GOAT,'” linebacker Anthony Walker said. “I expect him to make every kick from here on out.”If he can, it certainly would ease some of the angst in Indy (1-1) less than three weeks after Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement.Some thought if Vinatieri didn’t retire, he might get cut by the Colts. Or he could spend the rest of the season on injured reserve. He dealt with a lingering groin injury much of last season and is still receiving treatment on his sore left knee.But Vinatieri blames only himself for the errant kicks.“You all know I went through some stuff earlier, I feel fine,” he said. “You don’t reinvent the wheel, you just rely on what you’ve done in the past.”Coach Frank Reich reiterated Monday that he had complete faith in Vinatieri and expects him to kick — and kick well — in Sunday’s home opener against Atlanta (1-1).“There’s nobody else I’d trust more than I would trust Adam Vinatieri,” Reich said. “It doesn’t mean he’s going to make every kick. I mean, shoot he’s human. The greatest players at every position still make mistakes, they still throw interceptions — we’re all human. But still no one I trust more.”And why wouldn’t he given Vinatieri’s virtually spotless resume?In addition to being the league’s career scoring leader (2,605 points) Christine Michael Sr Jersey , he’s also the career leader in field goals (583), participated in a league-record 216 regular-season wins and made some of the most memorable kicks in NFL history, including two Super Bowl winners.So after flying back Sunday night and quietly sitting around a fire with his wife, Vinatieri turned the page on perhaps the worst two-game slump of his career, walked back into the team complex Monday, met with Reich and left without saying a word.When he returned Tuesday, Vinatieri apologized for misspeaking and reiterated his commitment to finding a solution.“I guess, like golf, if you’re out there and you hook a couple of balls you’re thinking about it till you get it figured it out,” he said. “I’ll get it figured out.”
