- The Colts had the ball for over 4 minutes / drive. This includes the first drive of the game, where the Colts only held the ball for 25 seconds, thanks to 3 incomplete passes (6th time ever in regular season). Add to that that the Defense held the Texans to barely over 2:00 / drive, and that’s the first sign of domination.
- Here’s what I said about 3rd/4th Downs in the preview:
In the Colts four Wins this season, the defense has held their opponent to 15/67 on 3rd/4th down. In the two losses? 16/25. That’s a very easy stat to track, and very telling for the 2010 Colts. Get them off the field on 3rd/4th down, the Colts win. If not, the Colts lose.
The Texans were 3/12 on 3rd/4th down, and the Colts won easily. I’ve still got the touch.
