In a battle of ailing quarterbacks, Drew Brees and the Saints head to Lucas Oil Stadium for a meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. Both Brees and Andrew Luck have missed games with shoulder injuries this year, but both look healthy enough to lead their respective offenses.
The Saints are coming off a ten-day break, and will look to continue their success after ending the Falcon’s undefeated season last Thursday. They succeeded on all three phases against Atlanta, most notably recovering two fumbles inside their own 20 yard line. More turnovers could be in store for the Saints, as the Colts have the third-most giveaways in the NFL with 12.
Throwing out the fake punt, the Colts played pretty close with the Patriots last week. It may not have lasted, but it reminded people just how good the Colts can be. Indianapolis is on the right track, but their 29th-ranked defense may face a tough challenge this week. If Benjamin Watson is morphing into a Jimmy Graham successor, the Saints offense will be dumping points on the Colts this week.
