NFL Network's RedZone Colts stat of the week: Week Twelve

This post is sponsored by Comcast and their NFL RedZone channel, a new NFL Network channel. Want to see every touchdown from every NFL game as it happens as well as live look-ins to all of Sunday's games in key situations? Then you need Comcast's NFL RedZone.
One of the many reasons why I love Yahoo! Sports player stats is because they offer some excellent situational numbers. One of those numbers offers a glimpse into how well Joseph Addai has been running in the fourth quarter. Through ten game, check out Addai's yards per rush by quarter:
First quarter: 2.6
Second quarter: 3.8
Third quarter: 4.0
Fourth quarter: 4.1
The Colts running game is by no means a strength, and if there is a weakness for this team it's running the ball. However, what the numbers, and the results, are showing is that the Colts know how to run effectively in the fourth quarter where it is essential to run if you want to ice a game. Compare Addai's quarter-by-quarter breakdown with, say, the Patriots' Laurence Maroney:
First quarter: 5.0
Second quarter: 3.5
Third quarter: 3.6
Fourth quarter: 3.2
Like the Colts, the Pats struggle to run the ball. However, unlike the Colts, the Patriots have struggled to run the ball in the fourth quarter of certain games. This was a huge reason why New England lost at Indy a few weeks ago (even though resident ESPN bald idiot Tony Kornheiser thinks they won; he also believes in magic fairies, pink unicorns, and the myth of his own credibility).
The benching of Mike Pollak for Kyle DeVan has also produced better rushing results. Since Pollak was benched, Addai has averaged 4.5, 4.1, and 3.9 yards a carry through the last three games, respectively.

Week 11: Inside the Numbers

BBS showed us a dumb article by Paul Kuharsky, in which he claimed the Colts were outplayed by the Ravens. I decided not to comment on this article until I looked at the "facts", or stats. Well guess what I found...Paul was dead wrong. In fact, the Colts played pretty well on both sides of the ball. A couple notes first, then the stats you can wave in Paul's face:
- Elias via ESPN: With the Colts and Saints both going to 10-0, it is only the third time in NFL history two different teams have started the same season 10-0. First was in 1934 (Packers and Lions), and the 2nd was in 1990 (Giants and 49ers). For all you Tecmo Super Bowl fans, this was the season the game was made from, and it is impossible for both teams to start the year 1-0 in the game, as they play each other in Week 1. LT would always eat Joe Montana for lunch.
- Also from Elias this week, on the Colts wins the last 4 weeks (emphasis mine):
The Colts defeated the Ravens, 17-15, to continue their recent trend of extending their winning streak in closely-contested games. The Colts' three other victories this month had come by scores of 18-14 over the 49ers, 20-17 over the Texans and 35-34 over the Patriots, and as in their win over the Ravens, the Colts had trailed in the fourth quarter in each game. Indianapolis became the first team in NFL history to win four consecutive games after trailing during the fourth quarter in each of those games.
The Colts became the first team in NFL history to win four consecutive games in the same season by a total margin of 10-or-fewer points. And they did it by filling an inside straight, having won those games by margins of one, two, three and four points. The previous record was set by the 1986 Giants: en route to winning the Super Bowl, Bill Parcells's team defeated the Cowboys, Eagles, Vikings and Broncos by a combined margin of 11 points.
- 19 and counting. Only 2 left to tie the record, against divisional opponents.

That happened today, when the NFL sent out a notice that the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints could both clinch their divisions in Week 12.
The Colts will clinch the AFC South if they beat the Texans and the Jaguars lose to the 49ers on Sunday.

Keiwan Ratliff AND Adam Seward Waived Today
Should the Colts look at either of these guys again?
UPDATE: Josh Thomas was re-signed already today, but that's not to say Ratliff and Seward are less interesting for future games.
Mike Hart waived
Adam Caplan Tweets that the Colts have waived Mike Hart once again. No word on who will take his active roster spot.
