WEEK 4 at JACKSONVILLE GAME NOTES
•The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars by a 37-3 margin in a Week
4 contest at EverBank Field, improving their all-time record against the Jaguars to 17-
8 in the regular season and 9-4 on the road. The team’s 37 points is the highest single-game
total since September 19, 2010 when the Colts defeated the New York
Giants, 38-14. Indianapolis’ 34-point margin of victory is the team’s highest since a 42-
6 win at St. Louis on October 25, 2009.
•The Colts concluded the month of September with a 3-1 record. Over the last 11 years,
Indianapolis has compiled a league-leading .722 winning percentage (26-10) in the
month, which ranks first in the NFL during that span.
•The Colts totaled 154 rushing yards as a team against Jacksonville, which marked
the fourth straight 100-yard performance from Indianapolis this season. Since 1984,
the team’s longest consecutive streak of 100-yard rushing games to open a season is
five, which was accomplished in 1984 and 1988.
•Through four games this season, the Colts have only allowed seven points in the
fourth quarter, which currently ranks tied for second in the NFL.
•In the first half of play, the Colts defense held the Jaguars to three points while allowing
only three first downs, 69 total net yards, 30 rushing yards and 39 passing yards. Jacksonville
finished the contest with 205 total net yards (40 rushing and 165 passing) and
converted only 2-of-11 third down attempts (18 percent). Indianapolis led in time of
possession by a 36:38-23:22 margin.
•Indianapolis’ defense held Jacksonville to 40 rushing yards on 18 carries for a 2.2 average.
The rushing average is the lowest allowed this season and the team’s lowest
since the 2010 regular season finale against Tennessee (2.1). Jacksonville running
back Maurice Jones-Drew was held to his lowest career single-game rushing total
against the Colts (23 yards on 13 carries).
•The Colts defense held Jacksonville to -2 yards of total net offense in the third quarter.
It was the lowest total for an Indianapolis opponent in any quarter dating back to October
23, 2005 against Houston (-17 yards).
•Cornerback Darius Butler intercepted a Blaine Gabbert pass and returned the ball
41 yards for a touchdown to give the Colts a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. The pick
was the eighth of Butler’s career and the touchdown return was the fourth of his career.
For the second consecutive year, Butler returned an interception for a touchdown
against the Jaguars in Jacksonville. Butler is tied for third place in franchise history
with three interception returns for a touchdown.
•Running back Trent Richardson scored his second touchdown in as many games
with the Colts on a one-yard carry in the second quarter. The score gave Indianapolis
a 17-3 advantage. Richardson finished the game with 20 carries for 60 yards and one
score. On the drive, running back Donald Brown logged the second-longest rush of
his career with a 50-yard carry. It was his longest rush since a career-high 80-yard
touchdown run on December 18, 2011 against Tennessee. Brown led the Colts in rushing
against Jacksonville with three carries for 65 yards (21.7 avg.).
•Quarterback Andrew Luck found tight end Coby Fleener for a 31-yard touchdown
strike on the team’s first offensive possession of the third quarter to give Indianapolis
a 27-3 lead. The drive consisted of two plays with Luck finding wide receiver Reggie
Wayne for a 17-yard pass on the other play. Fleener’s touchdown was his second this
season.
•Luck’s second touchdown pass of the game came in the third quarter when he found
Wayne for a five-yard score. The Colts drove 72 yards on 12 plays and earned five
first downs on the drive. Wayne topped the 100-yard receiving plateau while adding
his second touchdown of the season and the 80th of his career.
•Luck finished the contest having completed 22-of-36 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns
and one interception for a 90.0 passer rating. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck
also saw his first action as a member of the Colts, completing 2-of-3 passes for 37
yards in the fourth quarter.
•Wayne caught five passes for 100 yards and one touchdown against Jacksonville.
With his touchdown reception, he became the 11th player in NFL history with 13,000-
plus career receiving yards and 80 touchdowns. He also passed Charley Taylor and
Harold Carmichael (79) for a tie of 22nd place in NFL history (Larry Fitzgerald) in touchdown
receptions. Wayne’s 100-yard performance was the 42nd of his career. The Colts
are 30-12 when he reaches the 100-yard receiving plateau. With five catches against
the Jaguars, Wayne improved his current NFL record of consecutive games with at
least three catches to 68. He also improved his streak of consecutive games with at
least one reception to 116. Wayne now has 138 catches for 1,956 yards against Jacksonville,
his most against any opponent. Wayne has now competed in 186 consecutive
games, which ranks second among active NFL players (London Fletcher 243). He also
passed Justin Snow (192) for the sixth-most games played in franchise history.
•Fleener finished the contest with five receptions for 77 yards and one touchdown. It
was his second-highest career receiving total behind an 82-yard performance in his
rookie debut against Chicago in the 2012 regular season opener (82 yards on Sept. 9,
2012).
•Outside linebacker Robert Mathis finished with 3.0 sacks and five tackles against
Jacksonville. The sacks marked the 97th, 98th and 99th of his career, which moved
him past Warren Sapp (96.5), Dexter Manley (97.5), Jacob Green (97.5), Simon
Fletcher (97.5) and Joey Porter (98.0) for 30th place on the league’s all-time sacks
list. The performance was the 23rd multiple-sack game for Mathis and his third career
3.0-sack contest. The sacks marked the third time in his career that he has recorded
a quarterback takedown in each of the first four games to open a season (2005 and
2012). Mathis has now posted at least 1.0 sack in five consecutive games against
Jacksonville.
•Defensive end Cory Redding logged his 29th career sack when he took down Blaine
Gabbert in the third quarter. The takedown was part of a 4.0-sack effort from the Colts
against Jacksonville. Redding also added three tackles in the victory.
•Cornerback Vontae Davis intercepted his first pass of the season and the 13th of his
career when he picked off Blaine Gabbert on Jacksonville’s first offensive possession
of the game. Davis finished the game with three tackles and two passes defensed.
•Cornerback Josh Gordy notched his fourth career interception when he picked off
Blaine Gabbert at the 4:50 mark in the fourth quarter. It was Gordy’s first interception
since December 24, 2011.

safeties in consecutive games played with 84. He has started in all 111 games he has
participated in.
•Kicker Adam Vinatieri converted 3-of-3 field goals and four PATs, giving him 13 points
against Jacksonville. His first field goal of the game (24 yards) came in the second
quarter, which tied the game at 3-3 and extended his streak of consecutive games
scoring at least one point to 150. Vinatieri added his second field goal of 46 yards with
1:38 remaining in the first half and converted his third kick of 28 yards in the fourth
quarter.
