He’s right about one thing: The run game really mattered in 1999 and 2004
In eight of the Indianapolis Colts’ nine playoff losses during the Peyton Manning era, Indy has been out-rushed by its opponents, often dramatically. Tennessee in the 1999 season. Miami in 2000. New England in 2004. San Diego in 2008. And the list goes on.
In five of the Colts’ nine victories during the Manning era, the Colts have out-rushed their opponents. The Super Bowl year, they waxed Kansas City (188-44), Baltimore (100-83), New England (125-93) and Chicago (191-111).
