The 2019 NFL season is just a few weeks away, so Andy Benoit makes a few predictions for each NFL team. Today he considers the Indianapolis Colts, who finished 10–6 and finished second in the AFC South last year.
Andrew Luck wins his first MVP award. The almost-30-year-old remains one of football’s greatest quarterbacks late in the down, particularly from within the pocket. But his willingness to get the ball out quickly, which he discovered last year under Frank Reich, puts him on a whole other plane. Reich’s system is shrewdly built on multi-receiver route combinations, many of which stress both man and zone coverage.
