In a stunning turn of events for the Indianapolis Colts, Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor found themselves on the bench, leaving the team appearing to be a one-dimensional offense. However, Joe Flacco stepped in with his arm and some crucial runs, leading the Colts to a successful drive down the field.
“Flacco really stepped up and made some big plays for us,” commented a Colts player after the game.
Indy’s performance was impressive, with their 2.83 Points per Drive ranking 7th best for the week, and their 447 yards of total offense finishing 4th overall.
The Colts offense was firing on all cylinders, consistently moving the chains with a 3rd 1st/ply ranking. They also excelled on 3rd downs, going 7 for 14 for the 6th best 3rd down conversion rate (50% 3DC). Their 6th best Success Rate (43.3% adj TSR) showcased just how effective each play was for the team.
Adding to their success, the Colts accumulated 239 yards in explosive plays, ranking 3rd highest in the league. This contributed to their EPA per play being the 3rd highest for the week.
Looking at the season as a whole, the Colts sit at 13th in Points per Drive and 14th in Drive Success Rate.
Overall, it was an impressive showing by the Indianapolis Colts, proving that they have the ability to overcome adversity and come out on top.
