Quick Recap: Colts 30, Jets 17

Stay connected for news and updates

The Colts O had too many weapons and the Colts D showed yet again that the finesse, "can't stop the run" label is hopelessly outdated.

With Reggie Wayne slowed to a mere 3 for 55 by Darrelle Revis, Pierre Garçon and Austin Collie combined for 18 receptions (including a AFCCG record 11 from Garçon) for 274 yards with a TD each. The Colts put up the first 350+ yard passing game against the Jets D and racked up a QB rating of 123. They were supplemented by the Colts ground game emerging to pick up 4.6 a carry and...

outgain the Jets vaunted ground game 101 to to 85.

That 85 yards by the Jets came on 27 carries for a pitiful 3.1 average. The Colts paid early for their run focused D giving up TDs on drives built around 45 and 80 yard passes, but even against fronts stacked against the Jets passing game was unable to keep pace with the Colts O once it adjusted to the Jets blitz heavy strategy.

The Colts were not beaten down by the Jets physical run game, the leagues top Pass D was unable to contain them for more than a couple drives to start the game.

Thanks to that refutation of the popular narrative...

 

 

The Colts are going to the Superbowl!
