Every week Al Woods Color Rush Jersey , I will present a summary of some basic and advanced stats for the Colts performance relative to the league. Thanks to Pro Football Reference, NFL.com and the nflSCrapR project for being awesome sources of weekly data.The problem with talking about stats from a Colts blowout win is that you already know the story.There is no real insight to add. It’s a good problem to have. While an 86.7% Drive Success Rate isn’t the highest mark the Colts have put up this year, it is close, only slightly less than the 90.3% against Oakland 3 weeks ago.It is, however, the first game where the offense has not had a 3 & out drive, which is harder than it sounds. Of the 322 offensive games played in 2018 (161 games x 2 offenses), that has only happened 12 other times. Two turnovers and a great kick return gave Indianapolis advantageous field position on three drives and they capitalized on it with 17 points.And even though the six other drives pinned the Colts to the 14 yard line on average, the offense churned out another 21 points.TEAM TOTALSFor about the 4th week in a row, there just isn’t anything but good news stat-wise for the Colts offense.Drew Brees continued his likely MVP year and so Andrew Luck and the Colts could only muster the second best DSR and Adjusted Points Per Drive.Third down conversions dipped to 50%, but that is still very good https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Erik-Swoope-Jersey , and the Colts continue to lead the league on the season (52%).But since 5.3 yards to gain on third down is lower than previous weeks then maybe the offense should have done better? Oh, darn. PASSINGFor the 5th game in a row, the offensive line did not yield a sack extending Luck’s streak to 214 sack-free attempts.If the O-line can keep that up for a mere 13 games more, Luck might break Dan Marino’s record of 759. The good marks keep going. The Colts put up the 2nd best Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt for the week (11.1), almost 47% of passes resulted in first downs (or TDs), and 9.2 Yards per Attempt is the 2nd best mark of the season for the Colts. As impressive as those passing numbers are, they were diluted a bit by Jacoby Brissett. Before taking a well earned 4th quarter respite, Luck put up 10.2 YPA and a 12.3 ANY/A, both of which were the 2nd best marks of his career. Yards after Catch weren’t great, but it has been trending up since week 3’s miserable low of 3.1 to an almost respectable 5.2. It would be really nice if that was higher but as long as YPA stays high (via air yards and completion rate), then I’m a happy guy. RUSHINGWhile not nearly as flashy as week 7 & 8’s 200+ yard performances Malik Hooker Jersey , the run game was very good this week, earning the top spot in weighted rushing success rate.How is that possible with only 102 yards you say?Well, let me school ya. 3 of the 28 carries were kneel downs. 2 of them were touchdowns while another 6 were first down conversions. 8 more runs were on 1st or 2nd down and averaged 6.4 ypc making the conversions that much easier. Add it all up and you get 16 of 25 runs (64%) that successfully did what you wanted them to do.Even though teams like Baltimore and Seattle put up much more rushing yardage, the Colts run game was much more efficient in measures that lead to wins. On the year, the Colts are 5th in wRSR and it’s no coincidence that Luck’s passing has improved because of it.CONCLUSIONSThe three prior games had shown what this team can be offensively and they didn’t let up this past week either.Outside of New Orleans, the Colts have had the best offense in the league over a 4 game stretch (and yes, I saw the Monday night game). If they could finish the year at the current production level, then I don’t see the Colts losing another regular season game.And that would mean playoffs.SEASON TOTALS (per game) INDIANAPOLIS — General manager Chris Ballard spent most of the offseason talking about the two starting-caliber quarterbacks on the Indianapolis Colts‘ roster.It’s time to find out if he got it right.Ballard remained resolute in his opinion just minutes after watching Andrew Luck announce his surprise retirement following Saturday night’s preseason loss to the Chicago Bears.“We’ve got a good football team; this is a good football team,” Ballard said. “We’re not going to ask Jacoby Brissett to be Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck was a unique, unique player. But Jacoby Brissett is a winning football player in this league. Jacoby Brissett is a rare, rare leader. He is. He’s a rare human being Quincy Wilson Color Rush Jersey , man. The locker room loves Jacoby Brissett.”The Colts already have a pretty good sense of what they have in Brissett, Luck’s successor.He possesses prototypical size and a strong arm. He has starting experience and served as understudy to both Luck and, after being drafted by New England in the third round in 2016, Tom Brady. Even Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells is a fan. And now in his second season with coach Frank Reich and two full offseasons, he has demonstrated a mastery of the playbook throughout training camp.But this is not the same player who came to Indianapolis in a cutdown weekend trade in 2017, relieved Scott Tolzien eight days later in the season opener and then went 4-11 as the starter as Luck recovered from shoulder surgery.In the two years since most fans last saw Brissett play, he’s become a more polished quarterback who makes quicker decisions and willingly throws the ball away — though there’s no doubt about his toughness in the pocket.“The quarterback and the center really have to have complete control over (protection schemes) and I think Jacoby has made major — he was good last year — but I really think he’s made major strides to get really good in that area,” Reich said last week. “And just generally speaking, getting the ball out quick with rhythm, with timing.”Now he must prove it to all those who doubt him.
