The Colts are ready to return to the ground game tonight after they were dominated in time of possession vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. With Trent Richardson banged up, the Colts ran just 10 times, allowing the Steelers to hold the ball for more than 40 minutes.
"It's bad football," coach Chuck Pagano said. "It's not intentional, but it's bad football and you're not going to win games playing like that."
That loss wasn't symbolic of Indianapolis' 2014 season so far though; even standout quarterback Andrew Luck had a moment of shame when he took an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone while sitting down.
"Take it as a learning situation. What can you do differently? Try to inch forward and take a sack on the half-yard line or spin around, try and get up and get the ball in the vicinity of a receiver to throw it away," Luck said. "But yeah, bonehead play by me."
The Giants, meanwhile, are trying to rebound from a two-game losing skid. At 3-4 they can't afford many more losses in a division where the Eagles are 6-2 and the Cowboys are 6-3.
We've got nine games to play as well as we can possibly play," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "I think anybody in that locker room can do that. They just have to realize the amount of the season and the schedule that's gone by and yet we have nine opportunities. Let's go. One at a time."
