*Marlon Mack – Noteworthy
RB Marlon Mack, a second-year pro, enjoyed his first career 100-yard rushing game with 126 yards on 19 carries. Mack finished the scoring with a 20-yard TD run in the final quarter. “I wouldn’t say coming out party, it’s just something to build upon,” said Mack, who had missed four games with injuries before returning last week, “The o-line and us coming together and working hard.” It is only the fourth time in Luck’s 77-game, regular-season career that he’s had a 100-yard rusher. While Luck was an efficient 17-of-23 passing for 156 yards and four scores, the Colts finished with 220 rushing yards. That’s the most since Sept. 30, 2007, when Luck was a senior in high school.
Darius Leonard – Noteworthy
LB Darius Leonard, the NFL’s leading tackler as a rookie, made a game-high 17 tackles against the Bills, to boost his season total to 79.
Mike Mitchell – Noteworthy
S Mike Mitchell, who two weeks after being signed off the street, had an interception, forced fumble, seven tackles and two passes defended. “This has been one of the hardest-working groups I’ve been around, and I’ve only been here 13 days, maybe,” said Mitchell, a 10th-year pro. “It’s a hard-working group. We’re very young, but being young isn’t an excuse.”
Phillip Walker – Noteworthy – Transaction
QB Phillip Walker was signed by the Colts to the practice squad Saturday (Oct. 20). He had been released by the Colts from the practice squad Tuesday.
