Dominant ground game shows Colts don't always need Andrew Luck

INDIANAPOLIS -- It looked like a simple fundamental play often taught in youth football.

A fake handoff to the running back to get the linebacker to commit to the line of scrimmage, which in turn opens up the field for a pass play.

It was that play when Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck faked a handoff to running back Marlon Mack, which caused the Buffalo Bills linebacker to come up in case Mack had the ball. Luck, surveying the field, found an open Erik Swoope down the middle for a 17-yard touchdown.
