ad win against the Oakland Raiders Sunday to head into their bye week on a two game winning streak and with renewed hopes inside the AFC South. While injuries are still plaguing the team on defense http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-denico-autry-jersey , they are getting healthier every week, and the bye couldn’t come at a better time for them. They’ll get a chance to get whole as a team and come out blazing against the Jaguars in two weeks. Let’s take a look at the snaps from this game and see if there is anything of note that can be gleaned from them. Offense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesWhat a nightmare this offense must be for defenses to attempt to deal with. Eric Ebron was on the field for 17 snaps. He had 3 catches for 37 yards and a touchdown. Mo-Alie Cox had 25 snaps and had 1 catch for 26 yards. Except it was a highlight reel touchdown. Nyheim Hines was in the game just barely more than a third of the offensive snaps. He gashed the defense for 78 yards on the ground. It is tough to remember a time a Colts team got such great production off the bench.With the exception of Kelly, this is another week where the offensive line played nearly the whole game together. That continuity thing is real, and this line is just going to get better and better down the stretch. If the Colts can give Andrew Luck another dangerous receiver this offense is going to be terrifying to behold with the kind of clean pocket he is getting.T.Y. Hilton had far and away the most snaps of a receiver, but just 1 catch on 5 targets. While the Colts have done well spreading the ball around, they need Hilton to have a bigger impact on the offense. Ultimately, they are at their best when Hilton is torching secondaries.They didn’t really ease Jack Doyle into the game at all, did they? 57 offensive snaps indicates he was at or very near 100%. His biggest impact came late in the game, but it was great to see him back on the field. Defense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesThe Colts’ defense saw its fewest snaps all season on Sunday, a testament to the effectiveness of the offense at controlling the time of possession.Quincy Wilson and Nate Hairston both saw diminished snaps. Wilson with 11 and Hairston with 9. They had 39 and 27 respectively last week. Meanwhile, Arthur Maulet had 28 snaps behind only Desir and Moore.The safety position continues to be a mess with Mike Mitchell getting 32 snaps before sustaining a calf injury and Hooker missing the game. Core Moore attempted to fill in alongside Geathers Cheap Malik Hooker Jersey , but it wasn’t pretty and he definitely looked like a 3-4th string backup.Despite not looking 100%, Denico Autry played 41 snaps. Margus Hunt played 45, and Sheard played 43. The loss of Jihad Ward, as well as having Ridgeway out has changed this defensive unit from one that relied on heavy rotation to a group that is a bit more top heavy. Injury has clearly impacted their effectiveness, a factor that hopefully is resolved by getting healthy over the bye week and getting rookie Tyquan Lewis back.Special Teams#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent After an exciting start to the season for Thursday Night Football, Week 8 kicks off with a Brock Osweiler revenge game against the Houston Texans. After starting 3-0 and 0-3 to start the year, Miami and Houston both come in at 4-3.Things do pick up on Sunday however with the third and final London game of the season — pitting two desperate teams in the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars against one another. Blake Bortles was benched last week after a string of horrendous play, a slight glimpse that Doug Marrone may be looking to move on from his starting signal caller should his poor play continue. For the defending Super Bowl champions, Philadelphia has had trouble closing out games this season and finding consistency within its play, making this matchup against a good Jacksonville D very intriguing.A Panthers/Ravens matchup and a rematch of a previous Monday Night Football game between the Chiefs and Broncos highlight the 1 p.m. slate. A sneaky game to keep an eye on, with potential to be the game of the week Jabaal Sheard Jersey , falls in Detroit as the Seahawks face the Lions. The Seahawks seem to have finally found a ground and pound run game, and the Lions just traded for Damian Harrison to improve their subpar run defense. Two of the better quarterbacks in football should only create a bigger fixture for the early games.Indianapolis travels out to Oakland to take on the empty Raiders’ roster. Andrew Luck and the Indy offense have faced some of the better defenses in football this season, so taking on a Raiders defense with minimal talent should be easily exposable for all 60 minutes. A banged-up Aaron Rodgers faces his greatest test of the season, and the pressure up the middle from Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh should add a poignant threat to the most talented slinger of the football.Sunday Night Football is a rematch of the divisional-round thriller from a year ago, as New Orleans returns to the same stadium where their postseason ended on a walk-off touchdown from Stefon Diggs. Everything seems to be going the right way for Drew Brees and the Saints this season, so exacting their revenge and removing the haunting demon of last year’s loss will be pivotal for them moving forward.Week 8 starts with a snore-fest, why not end with one?
