INDIANAPOLIS – In Gus Bradley's first season as an NFL head coach, he has made an impressive turnaround with his Jacksonville Jaguars.
Heading into a Nov. 3 bye week, the Jaguars were in search for their first win of 2013.
The Jaguars had lost their first eight games of the year by an average of 22.2 points per game.
However since the bye week, the Jaguars have sung an entirely different tune and built some momentum heading into 2014.
Jacksonville (4-11) has won four of its past seven games with a pair of one-possession defeats the last two weeks.
Bradley points to execution on third-down and being more efficient in the red zone as to reasons why the Jaguars are starting to see tangible results.
On the defensive side of the ball, Bradley commends his team's rush defense for part of the four wins since November.
The Colts will see starting quarterback Chad Henne on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium after facing Blaine Gabbert in the team's first meeting.
In the Colts 37-3 victory in Jacksonville on Sept. 29, the Jaguars took an early 3-0 lead before a Darius Butler interception return for a touchdown changed the game for good.
The Colts picked off Gabbert three times back in Week 4 and held Maurice Jones-Drew to just 23 rushing yards on 13 carries.
Jones-Drew has returned from a late season injury and had 13 carries for 45 yards in last week's 20-16 home loss to the Titans.
Jacksonville will be without leading receiver Cecil Shorts on Sunday. Short was placed on injured reserve a few weeks back. He had seven catches for 61 yards in the team's first meeting.
A win for the Colts would mark just the third time they've finished a year undefeated in AFC South games since the division was created back in 2002.
The Colts will be looking to avenge a home loss the Jaguars gave them in Week of the 2012 regular season.
