Don’t look now, but Carson Wentz could be starting to find his groove in Indianapolis.
Wentz’s first three games with the Colts weren’t great. He lost all three, had three passing touchdowns, a 60.4 percent completion percentage and 692 passing yards. Since then, however, he has led the Colts to a 2-1 record. Wentz has a 69.0 percent completion percentage, six touchdown passes and no interceptions.
That single loss came to a red-hot Ravens team on the road, and it was a narrow 31-25 loss.
Now, Indianapolis will see if it can maintain the momentum against a 49ers team that will return to its starting quarterback.

San Francisco will have Jimmy Garappolo back at center after he missed Week 5 with a calf injury. The 49ers had started the season 2-0 with him leading the charge, but dropped a pair of matchups against the Packers and Seahawks.
In place of Garappolo, rookie Trey Lance completed 15 of 29 passes with no touchdowns and an interception in a 17-10 loss to the Cardinals. He ran 16 times for 89 yards.
Overall, Garappolo has completed 66.1 percent of his passes this season for 925 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.
