QB Nick Foles vs. DB’s Rock Ya-Sin and Marvell Tell III
While highlighting this specific matchup, which is obvious to many, we could witness some interesting developments during its course on Sunday. I say this because, in preparation for this game against the Jaguars, the Colts likely prepared for both of their quarterbacks in Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew II.
Even though GMII did a solid job at keeping the Jaguars competitive, this team’s best chance to win is tied to the health of Foles. When healthy, the former Super Bowl MVP possesses the top-notch arm talent and intelligence to beat any defense and as crazy as this might sound, Foles is the “toughest” matchup in recent memory for the Colts’ young secondary.
But if you’ve been watching Ya-Sin and Tell play since Week 9, then your confidence in them has to be going up. They’ve been limiting the number of penalties called against them, haven’t surrendered many big plays, and most importantly, they’re staying healthy.
