A couple thoughts here:
- The Colts are leading the league in 3 of the Top 6 stats, and are 2nd in another. Again, 4-0 is pretty easy to explain when looking at these numbers.
- The Colts defense has been doing a great job at Average Starting Position, causing opposing teams to go a longer distance than the offense does. That is very un-Colt-like, and is a good sign. It’s still a much better stat than in year’s past.
- The Defense is still struggling in certain areas (ToP/Drive, 3rd/4th Down %, and 3 & Outs) that need to be addressed. Yards / Play is great, and consistent with Colts’ Defenses of the past. Opposing offenses are usually only successful when they dink and dunk down the field.
- The Colts ANY/A number of 9.83 / Attempt is still on track to break the 2004 record, and should go up over the next 2 games (like I mentioned above). The top 4 teams in ANY/A offense? Colts, Giants, Saints, and Broncos. Still not convinced about how awesome ANY/A is? I’m not sure a better argument can be made.
