Colts’ player of the game vs. Jaguars: RB Marlon Mack

In a disappointing finale to a disappointing season, the Indianapolis Colts offense shut down once again in the second half against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Turnovers and missed opportunities really cost them a win against a struggling Jacksonville team.

Marlon Mack had an impressive game on the ground, his first in what seems like half the season. He totaled 77 yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns. This was Mack’s third career game with multiple rushing touchdowns and his first two-score game of the season.

Mack and the Colts gashed the Jaguars for 264 yards in their previous matchup this year but did not find the same success today. Though they were efficient when given the chances.

With this game, Mack had 1,091 yards on the season which was a career-high and the most rushing yards by a Colts running back since Edgerrin James in 2005.

Mack makes a case for team MVP of 2019 by developing a run game that seemed to be the focal point of this offense. If Mack can stay healthy for a full 16 games, this offense can be very dangerous heading into 2020.
