Devil in the details

Little things can cost you big

The Colts are tied for 11th in takeaway-giveaway at plus-3. They are tied for fourth with only 53 penalties, but some have been problematic.

An illegal block above the waist by Gijon Robinson on the opening kickoff at New England put the Colts at their own 11-yard line. A holding call on Chip Vaughn on the next kickoff pushed the Colts back to their 13. Then, during a third-quarter punt, Mike Newton was flagged for holding. The Colts started at their 7. So one-third of their nine possessions began at or inside their 13.
