Many NFL owners already have sharpened their axes, to cut themselves free of under-performing head coaches.

And with 114 scrimmage yards he would join Eric Dickerson and Edgerrin James as the only NFL player with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards in his rookie season. With a victory in Sunday night’s win-and-you’re-in showdown, Luck can become the first NFL QB since the 1970 merger to defeat any opponent 11 times without a loss, according to NFL.com’s Gil Brandt.
