Through one quarter, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was on pace to intercept Andrew Luck eight times in Week 9’s Colts-Packers showdown. He probably won’t get there, but two interceptions in a single quarter is still pretty good.
Andrew Luck’s favorite target is Packers DB Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
The Colts are beating the Packers, but the game would be even more lopsided if not for Clinton-Dix.
The Green Bay safety was one of Luck’s top targets in the first quarter, tying T.Y. Hilton with a pair of receptions from the Indianapolis quarterback. Clinton-Dix’s first came on the Colts’ first offensive drive of the game. Luck targeted Phillip Dorsett deep down the right sideline, but the former Alabama star shot across the field to step in front of the ball and give the Packers possession at the Indianapolis 29-yard line.
Green Bay couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity, however. Mason Crosby pushed a 48-yard field goal wide left to protect the Colts’ lead.
Two possessions later, Luck sailed a pass over the head of intended target Jack Doyle thanks to a converging Packers pass rush.
Clinton-Dix was there playing centerfield and got both feet down in bounds to hand the ball back to the Packers’ offense. Green Bay scored on an Aaron Rodgers pass to Jordy Nelson four plays later to cut the Indianapolis lead to 14-10.
