127.9 passer rating. Opened the contest with 11 consecutive completions and has thrown at least one touchdown pass in eight
consecutive regular season games dating back to November 18, 2012 (New England). Has led the Colts to eight game-winning drives
in the fourth quarter or overtime since entering the league as a rookie in 2012. That total is the most through a player’s first 17 games
by any quarterback that began his career since the 1970 merger. Registered a 19-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, which
gave the Colts a 21-17 lead and proved to be the game-winner. The rushing touchdown was the sixth of his career.
• Completed 25-of-43 passes for 321 yards, one touchdown and one interception for a 79.7 quarterback rating against Miami in Week 2
(9/15). With 43 attempts, passed Earl Morrall for eighth place all-time on the Colts career passing attempts list. Tied Johnny Unitas,
Bert Jones and Jeff George (eight) for 40-plus passing attempt games in franchise history. With 25 completions, also passed Morrall
for eighth place in career completions (382) and tied George (seven) for the fourth-most 300-plus passing yardage games in team
history. Threw for 242 yards in the first half of play, which is his second-highest total for a first half (273 yards against Miami on
November 4, 2012) in his career. Attempted 165 passes dating back to last season before his first interception in the fourth quarter. It
was the longest active streak in the NFL prior to the pick.
• Completed 17-of-26 passes for 159 yards while contributing with 24 rushing yards on four carries in a Week 3 victory at San Francisco
(9/22). Without a touchdown pass against the 49ers, ended a streak of nine consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass.
Finished the game having completed 7-of-7 passes on first downs. Posted his second rushing touchdown of the season when he
found the end zone on a six-yard run in the fourth quarter. The rushing touchdown was the seventh of his career.
• Finished a Week 4 contest at Jacksonville (9/29) having completed 21-of-35 passes for 257 yards, two touchdowns and one
interception for a 89.8 passer rating. Is now 14-6 as a starter and tied Pro Football Hall of Famer John Elway (14) for the most wins in
his first 20 starts by a quarterback drafted No. 1 overall since the 1970 merger.
• In a Week 5 victory against Seattle (10/6), completed 16-of-29 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns. The contest marked his
ninth game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime, which is the most in the NFL since the start of the 2012 campaign.
Registered his 15th career game with 200-plus passing yards and his 11th career contest with multiple touchdown passes. Found
wide receiver T.Y. Hilton for two touchdown receptions. The first came in the first quarter on a 73-yard connection, which was the
longest pass and reception for both players in their careers. The second score came in the third quarter on a 29-yard catch. The 73-
yard touchdown pass was the longest allowed by the Seahawks defense since Week 16 of the 2007 season. Led Indianapolis to 11
fourth-quarter points as the Colts came back from a 28-23 deficit. In his career, has guided the Colts to nine game-winning drives in
the fourth-quarter or overtime, the most through a player’s first 21 games by any quarterback that began his career since the 1970
merger. Is now 15-6 as a starter and is the fastest quarterback drafted No. 1 overall since the 1970 merger to reach 15 wins (21
starts). The game was the first in league history in which both starting quarterbacks (Russell Wilson, Seattle) were second-year
quarterbacks who started a playoff game as a rookie in the previous season.
• Started under center in a Week 6 loss at San Diego (10/14) and completed 18-of-30 passes for 202 yards and one interception for a
66.2 passer rating. Completed a long pass of 35 yards to wide receiver Reggie Wayne on the first play of the game.
• In a Week 7 win against Denver, completed 21-of-38 passes for 228 yards and four total touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) for
a 99.5 quarterback rating. Tied his single-game career-high with four touchdowns and his three touchdown passes are the most he
has thrown in a first half of his career and the second-most he has thrown in a single game. His 199 passing yards marked his thirdhighest
total for a first half in a single game. Was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance.
• Completed 18-of-40 passes for 271 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 92.8 passer rating in a Week 9 comeback
victory at Houston (11/3). With 40 attempts, he tied Jack Trudeau (nine) for the second-most games reaching the plateau in Colts
history. In three career games against Houston, has thrown for seven
touchdowns and zero interceptions. The contest marked his third career game
with three-or-more touchdown passes. It was the first time in his career he
reached the mark in consecutive games (Oct. 20 vs. Denver). The victory
marked his 10th career game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime
and his third this season. It’s the most by a quarterback in his first two years
in the league dating back to the Super Bowl era. Luck and wide receiver T.Y.
Hilton connected on three second half touchdowns en route to the victory. The
first came on a 10-yard touchdown at the end of the third quarter to cut
