Is Andrew Luck holding the ball longer? No, the line isn't protecting him

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is on pace to be sacked an astonishing 60 times this season.

An ongoing narrative is that one of the reasons why Luck has already been sacked 20 times through the first five games is because he holds the ball too long.

The reality is, Luck is currently holding the ball basically just as long as he did in 2014, when he set a career high in passing yards (4,761 yards) and touchdowns (40). Luck was only sacked 27 times that season.
