The Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts are playing live on the Monday night football schedule for Week 2 and the game on ESPN and the WatchESPN website starts up at 8:30 pm ET from Lucas Oil Stadium for the final game of the week and the matchup has Andrew Luck looking for a win to avoid 0-2, while Nick Foles and Philly are looking to take the lead in the NFC East.
The Colts come into the game after a tough loss against the Broncos, while the Eagles are coming in with some momentum after a huge win against the Jaguars. The Eagles got off to a slow start and went down 17-0 in that game, but they came out after that like gangbusters and just took over and did not allow a point the rest of the way and ended up with the impressive victory.
The Colts have a tough slate later in the season and after playing against the Eagles they have a matchup with the Jaguars. The team has two home games after that with the Titans and the Ravens and then they will play against the Houston Texans in a big division game on the road. The Texans have already matched their win total from last season and that starts a stretch of three games on the road in four weeks with the Bengals, Steelers and Giants with trips to Pitt and NY.
The second half of the season has some tough games as well, including a matchup with the Patriots at home. That starts a stretch of three straight home games with the Pats, Jaguars and Redskins before playing the Browns and that will be a road game. The team ends the season with three of four on the road away from Indy and they will go to Cleveland before playing at home against Houston. The final two games for Andrew Luck will be against Dallas and Tennessee and those matchups with the Cowboys and Titans will be away from home.
The Eagles have a tough schedule to end the season, including three straight division games with the Cowboys, Redskins and Giants. The team has to travel to Washington and New York in the final two games and they also have two games against Dallas over the final five weeks and that also includes a game at home against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Eagles are a tough test for the Colts, but Philly comes in after having a terrible season in the secondary and that means Andrew Luck could have a big day. Last season Luck did not get past 4000 yards, but he completed over 60 percent of his passes and had 23 touchdowns with just nine picks on the year and now he could be even better. Luck threw for 370 yards last week and nearly orchestrated a comeback against the Broncos and now they will be matching up with the Eagles.
