The Colts on third down

For a team as good as Indy on 3rd down, I don’t think the second gussing in this piece makes sense.

• Did you know that the Colts were better at running in Short Yardage than passing?  Just from watching the games, you don’t get that sense at all.  However, at a macro level, the Colts were more successful running the ball on 3rd and 3 or shorter.
• The 49ers game is a giant anomaly…5/7 on 3rd and long, but only 1/6 on 3rd and short.  That’s crazy to think about.  I’m guessing we won’t see many games like that.
• In 16 games, and 65 opportunities, the Colts ran the ball 1 time on 3rd and Medium.  That is way too predictable for my blood.  I’m hoping they notice that, and correct it next year.
