The Colts have scored a total of 62 points in their two preseason games, which is a league-high. The defense has only given up 29 points, and two of those scores were a 57-yard screen pass scramble and an Andrew Luck interception by the Steelers  that was returned for a touchdown.

Even after those two big-play scores, Luck and the Colts rebounded with two touchdown drives of their own, eventually taking the lead in the game. Last year in college, seven of Luck’s interceptions were follwed by a touchdown on his next drive. This young man has showed strength, mobility, and poise early in this preseason.

The re-vamped Colts defense totally shut down St. Louis, and held their ground against the Steelers for the most part. For a defense filled with new faces and familiar faces in new places, the defense looks much more fired-up and aggressive then they were at any time last season.

The most-anticipated preseason In Indianapolis history continues this Saturday in the nation’s capital, against Andrew Luck’s fellow rookie quarterback draft pick  Robert Griffin III, and the Washington Redskins.

With their second game of the preseason coming up in Pittsburgh this Sunday night, the Colts will find themselves on a grand stage for the first time. The Colts will travel to Heinz Field on Sunday night, under the spotlight of a nation-wide primetime game for the first time this season. The Colts have only one other nationally-televised game, which is an away game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 10 of the regular season.

The Colts finished the last of their two-a-day practices on Wednesday, but will return to the practice field in Anderson, Indiana for a night practice on Thursday. The Colts will close out training camp in Anderson on Friday, before making the trip to Pittsburgh for their primetime game on Sunday night.

NFL veteran defensive end, Cory Redding, says he is ready to make his debut as a Colt on Sunday. Redding missed the game against St. Louis last week with an injured elbow.

“Even though I’m an old vet in this league, I heal quick,” Redding said.

This new-look Colts squad may have looked dominant in their home preseason debut last Sunday, but the team did not walk away from the game unscarred. Linebacker Pat Angerer, the team’s leading tackler last season, will miss over a month with a broken foot that he suffered against the Rams. Linebacker Robert Mathis and new Colts running back Melwelde Moore both ended up with rib injuries, and it is still yet to be determined how much of this preseason either player might miss. The Colts also lost second-year linebacker Scott Lutrus with an ACL injury, forcing the team to place him on the injured reserve list for the season. Lutrus is the third linebacker to go down for the Colts in this early preseason.

On Tuesday, the Colts also signed running back Alvester Alexander.
