Jets discover running game in win over Colts

Brad Wells of SB Nation’s Colts blog Stampede Blue struggled to find words to describe the Colts’ debacle:

A Jets team that had been a laughingstock looked good in every facet of the game, causing Jets blogger Scott Salmon to term the game “The Beatdown Bowl” in his postgame recap of the Jets performance.

Greene carried the ball 32 times for 161 yards and those three touchdowns. After Luck threw his second interception of the game with Greene’s 2-yard score with 1:18 left in the game closed the door on any chance of an Indianapolis comeback.

Luck finished the game 22-of-44 passing for 280 yards while throwing two interceptions and fumbling once.

Hey, go ahead, Jason Hill. Dance like you mean it. You’re in the NFL. The Jets lead Indianapolis, 21-6, just before halftime.

Andrew Luck has lived up to his number-one pick status so far in the 2012 season, and sometimes you’re just blessed a bit more (unless you play for Cleveland) if your name is Luck anyway.

Luck threw a pick six against the New York Jets, but the play was called back on a penalty, keeping the Indianapolis Colts in a game in which the Jets are actually moving the football.

The Indianapolis Colts will travel without Donald Brown, Pat Angerer, and others as they face the New York Jets this afternoon at 4:25 p.m. The Jets will continue to sit reserve quarterback Greg McElroy, defensive lineman Sione Po’uha, and others.

Inactive for the New York Jets today are:

Game Date/Time: Sunday, Oct. 14, 1 p.m.

Location: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis

The New York Jets are favored to break a two-game home losing streak in Week 6 against a team in a perfect handicapping letdown hole.

The Jets host the Indianapolis Colts, fresh off an emotional upset of the Green Bay Packers, at Metlife Stadium. New York was an early 3-point favorite on NFL lines at sportsbooks such as Bovada, but the number was being bet higher.

The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m., ET and will be broadcast on CBS.
