The Indianapolis Colts have been red hot, and much of that is due to the play of quarterback Andrew Luck.
Luck carried his stretch of brilliant play into the Colts' AFC Wild Card Round matchup against the Houston Texans this past Saturday, helping lead Indianapolis to a 21-7 win.
Pro Football Focus loved Luck's performance, giving him a ridiculous grade for the game.

The funny thing is, this was, statistically, one of Luck's weaker performances of late, as he completed just 19 of his 32 passes for 222 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, resulting in a passer rating of 88.3.
However, Luck clearly had complete control over the game, particularly in the first half when the Colts jumped out to a 21-0 lead.
The 29-year-old had a terrific year overall, throwing for 4,593 yards, 39 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions while completing 67.3 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 98.7.

But, he is now getting a chance to rewrite his story.
The Colts won 10 games this season, rebounding to become just the third team since the AFL/NFL merger to make the playoffs after starting the year 1-5.
Indy has now won 10 of its last 11 games, with its only slip-up coming in the form of a strange 6-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in early December.
The Colts will head on the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round this Saturday.
