Inside the Numbers

MGrex is back

  • The Offense, while only scoring 24 points, played quite well, ranking 3rd in the league.  Now, this doesn’t account for the defense faced, so that’ll move as we get more data from the season.  Particularly good were Yards/Play (helped by the 73 yard TD to Collie), 3 and Outs (only 1), and Drive Success Rate.
  • If the Colts moved the ball so well, then how did they only have 10 points in the first 3 and a half quarters?  Check out 3rd/4th Down Conversions at 38.5%.  This is well below the standard the Colts have set for themselves over the years.  Several key drops and offensive line lapses led to these struggles.  Definitely something to work on.
  • The defense stopped the pass, when the Texans actually passed, which was the only bright spot for the defense.  There really is nothing to point at and say “They did ok there.”  Much like the Miami game last year, they just got beat down physically.
