I figured it out.
The Colts clinched the South in week 1 so they are resting all their starters till the playoffs.
Hasselbeck is really the starter but they don't want him to get hurt .
Haha
All joking aside.
The colts are practically the lone team in the NFL that has the ability to rest It's starting qb as long as they need without losing playoff position.
I sure hope hope for Lucks sake that they are not putting him out there at less then 100%.
I thought about something along those lines. Every team is banged up come playoff time and the Colts have a unique chance to be the healthiest team. There are basically only 4 key games remaining. The 3 division games and beating one or both of Tampa/ Miami. 7-9 wins this division. Perhaps even 6-10 if they win the 3 remaining Division games.
Rather broken ribs are effecting his performance or not. Those heal 100% with rest. Out of division, Texans still need to play Bengals, Pats, Saints, Buffalo, and Jets. Likely they go 1-4 in those games.
