The 40-year-old backup quarterback realizes it's on him to keep his 4-5 team going while injured starter Andrew Luck is on the mend.
Matt Hasselbeck’s plan is as obvious as it is simple: keep the Indianapolis Colts in contention until Andrew Luck returns.
The Colts’ bye week began the team’s transition at quarterback due to Luck suffering a lacerated kidney and partial tear of an abdominal muscle in a 27-24 home win over Denver eight days ago.
So the 4-5 Colts turn to their $3 million insurance policy, the 40-year-old Hasselbeck, who led the team to wins in Weeks 4-5 while Luck was inactive.
