INDIANAPOLIS --Another day of expertly taking care of the football led to another rewarding victory for the Colts.
Andrew Luck passed for 282 yards and a touchdown, and the Indianapolis defense overpowered the Jacksonville Jaguars for most of the game as the Colts captured a 30-10 victory Sunday.
Indianapolis Coach Chuck Pagano said he likes his team's "mojo" for the postseason. And why not? The Colts are heading there with a second consecutive 11-5 regular-season record in hand, including a three-game winning streak and a 4-1 mark in December 2013.
"Defensively, lights out. Gaining a ton of momentum," Pagano said about a Colts unit that has yielded just 20 points in the past three weeks.
"A ton of confidence on offense ... gelling at the right time," Pagano added about a squad that has rolled up lofty numbers recently by consistently using an uptempo style.
Offensively, there is another huge factor working in the Colts' favor. In this season of giving, the Colts aren't in a mood for giving away the football -- and they haven't been for most of the season. Without a turnover on Sunday, it represented their second straight week of spotless play and left them with a league-low 14 giveaways this season -- the fewest in franchise history.
The previous team record for fewest turnovers was 17 in 2004 and 2008. The Colts are 6-1 this season when they don't make a turnover.
Luck's play has been solid all year, but his performance over the three-game winning streak has been outstanding. He has completed 71-of-106 passes for 703 yards and four touchdowns over that span. He's thrown just one interception.
"I think there's a bit of a rhythm we've found," Luck said Sunday.
Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton caught 11 passes for 155 yards against the Jaguars. Both numbers were career bests.
"We know how dynamic he is," Luck said about Hilton. "And we talk a lot about what a playmaker he is."
