Colts rookie QB Andrew Luck played like a seasoned vet against the Steelers in Sunday night’s preseason action. He tossed a pick-6 on his 3rd possession — a late, underthrown ball to the sidelines that was intercepted by CB Ike Taylor. But Luck came right back out and led a 9-play, 80-yard TD drive. He was intercepted again on his next series when rookie WR T.Y. Hilton dropped a pass. Luck once again came back the next possession and orchestrated a TD drive — this time scoring on his own 1-yard run. He closed the 1st half by going 31 yards in under a minute to set up a FG. Luck finished his night 16 of 25 for 175 yards and those 2 INTs on the road against a tough Steelers defense. Through 2 preseason games, he’s completed 63.4% of his passes for 363 yards — good for a stellar 8.9 yards-per-attempt average. He has 2 TDs and 2 INTs. Luck is clearly ready for the big show, and Colts OC Bruce Arians seems willing to let him air it out. We’re starting to warm up to the idea of Luck as viable half of a QB-by-committee for fantasy teams this year.
