The bright lights of Monday Night Football come to Indianapolis, where two teams that went in opposite directions Sunday look to achieve the same thing: a victory on the national stage.
Andrew Luck will be making his 4th MNF football appearance, and will look to rebound after a sloppy season opener in Buffalo. The weather played a factor, but Luck was thoroughly outplayed by Tyrod Taylor, and may have to proceed without stud wideout T.Y. Hilton.
The Jets looked tough in their home opener over the Browns, and will be looking to make a statement Monday. The Patriots own the division and the Bills are getting all the hype, but if the Jets can leave Indy 2-0, it’s Gang Green who will be the hot topic.
Luck’s first game against the Jets was in 2012, when New York rushed for over 250 yards en route to a 35-9 victory in the Meadowlands.
