Every week https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Le_Raven-Clark-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.For the second week in a row, the Colts offense came out like world beaters, as they scored 3 TDs on their first 4 drives. 20 first downs in the first half ties for the second most by any team this year (Rams 21 in wk 16). But then in the 2nd half, this offense, that looked as fertile as the Tennessee Valley, could bear no points. The insides of NRG Stadium became a rocky place where the 6th seed could find no purchase.Of course, that could be because a 21 point shutout lead caused a change in game script. Luck passed 22 times in the first half, but had only 10 attempts the rest of the game. TEAM TOTALSThe Colt’s put up the best offensive numbers of anybody in Wild Card weekend.Sure, Dallas managed 3 more points but they were slightly less efficient coming in behind Indy’s #1 ranked 79% DSR and the #1 Adjusted Points per Drive of 2.3. Indianapolis continued their domination of Third Down Conversion rate into the post-season earning firsts on 64% of 3rd downs. They even managed to steal 2 first downs from opponent penalties.PASSINGAndrew luck’s 6.8 Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt wasn’t overly impressive, but the passing stat that matters most is the % of passes that earn first downs and he killed that with a 44% rate.Luck’s completion rate dipped below 60% for only the third time this season.That is likely due to a 10.3 yard Average Depth of Target Khari Willis Jersey , which is by far Luck’s longest of the year, as his 9.2 air yards per completion.Longer passes usually lead to smaller Yards After the Catch and this week was no exception as the Colts, yet again, posted a sub-standard YAC. I would love to see a passing game with high completion rate, high air yards AND high YAC, but as long as you are moving the chains consistently, who cares? (Well, me a little.)RUSHINGIronically, the Texans had the best rushing efficiency for the week even though the Colts buried them in yards. That’s not to say the Colts didn’t run well, because they were fantastic. Led by Marlon Mack’s 6.1 Yard per Carry, 143 yard performance http://www.coltsfanshop.com/Bobby-Okereke-Jersey , the Colts put up a 43% weighted Rush Success Rate, supported by 10 converted first downs (5 of them on 3rd down). Add to that, 6 explosive runs and you get arguably the best Colts run game of the year. The ability to be successful on the ground while grinding the clock was the perfect complement to the Colt’s fast scoring start. CONCLUSIONS & NEXT MATCH-UPLike the game against Tennessee, the offense seemed worse than it was because the scoring was in bunches instead of spread throughout the game.Luck didn’t have Star Wars numbers, but he was efficient and threw for first downs (which is kind of the whole point). The run game was stellar. Next up is an outdoor winter game in the loudest stadium in the NFL against the #1 team in the league. Cool.While Kansas City is a scary opponent, their defense is not.Ranking the pass game (ANY/A) and run game(wRSR) for each team shows a clear Indy offensive edge. Match-upsRanksIND OffKC DefRanksIND OffKC DefSince KC’s defense had the league’s most sacks but the last place rush defense, I wouldn’t be surprised if Frank Reich wants to slow the game down by running on the Chiefs and keeping this from being a 40+ point shootout.On the other hand, KC gives up the 4th most first down conversions through the air, so if our O-line is as good as we think they are, then maybe Luck can have a field day. TRAILING 5 WEEK TOTALS (per game)The data for playoff teams is 6 weeks trailing. SEASON TOTALS (per game) Chris Ballard has a very specific vision for the Colts in both the long and short term.

He has spoken since his arrival about building through the draft and developing the players you have. There is simply no way to have sustainable success in the NFL without regularly finding success doing these two things. While pundits have perennially labeled the Colts as a prime destination for nearly every big-name free agent due to their substantial salary cap space Parris Campbell Jersey , their actual free agent moves have been subtle, and to some, underwhelming. A brief look at this offseason though, and you can see that Chris Ballard is doing exactly what he wants to with all that cap space. While they did sign DE Justin Houston, WR Devin Funchess, and RB Spencer Ware, the Colts were not embroiled in any bidding wars and largely quiet during free agency. What they have been doing this offseason, is re-signing and extending players already in the building. So far they have re-signed or extended 8 players, and more may be coming as we near a lull in the NFL calendar. The latest extension is for former UDFA Kenny Moore who joined the team two years ago and has absolutely maximized his opportunity, proving time and again to be a versatile playmaker both on the outside and specifically in the slot. Moore’s play throughout last season was often underrated, and his tough style of play set a tone for the defensive backs that carried across the unit. Moore is a prime example of exactly the kind of thing GM Chris Ballard wants out of his team. He was brought in after being released by the Patriots and given a chance to develop and grow in his first year. When injuries gave him a chance to get on the field http://www.coltsfanshop.com/Ben-Banogu-Jersey , he made the most of it, and by year two he was cemented as a starter. A second year in the same defensive system under DC Matt Eberflus should only see Moore’s impact on this defense grow. Update:Here are all the players who have been extended or re-signed this offseason:Pierre Desir Clayton Geathers Mark Glowinski Margus Hunt Kenny MooreLuke Rhodes Rigoberto Sanchez Adam VinatieriA few names to keep an eye on for possible extensions are Anthony Castonzo, Eric Ebron, and Jack Doyle. All are set to become free agents in 2020, and are key parts of the offense. Given Ebron’s monster season in 2018, it would be a surprise if he resigns before the end of the season. The influx of new weapons and return of a healthy Jack Doyle will make it tough for Ebron to repeat his incredible year, and so it probably behooves the Colts to wait it out. However, Castonzo has been the Colts most proven and reliable lineman, and getting him extended will be a priority for the team. There can be little doubt to the incoming rookies and second year players that if they raise their game and perform at a high level, they can expect to be cashing big paychecks when it comes time to grab that second contract. Chris Ballard has made sure of it.
