I reviewed the All 22 today and came away quite impressed with the offense. I'll add links to images from the All 22 tomorrow, but my notes are below.
Overall, Brissett played very well (I only counted 3 throws off target and 1 potential misread), but I came away even more impressed with Reich and the pass protection. Reich called a brilliant game, taking what Atlanta gave them and using their aggressiveness against the run to the Colts advantage in the passing game. After an average to below average effort last week, the pass protection was very good this week. There were less than a handful of plays where Brissett was really pressured, and in most cases, he had a clean pocket to climb.

Notes by Drive:
1st Drive:
1Q: 1st & 10 IND 36
12 Personnel
PA Fake Off tackle L
Cover 3
Grady Jarrett beats Glowinski badly, otherwise Brissett could’ve had Doyle for about 25 yards on the deep corner (picture below). Instead, Brissett evades Jarrett and has to hit Mack in the flat. Still a solid gain of 9, but Glowinski cost them a chunk play. Colts end up settling for a FG after a screen on 3rd and long falls short, but I think the Falcons tipped their hand that they’d be going heavy to stop the run. That set up Reich on the next few drives.

2nd Drive (1st Quarter):
1Q: 1st & 10 IND 27
12 Personnel
Brissett does a good job identifying the Cover-1 man coverage, which leaves Hilton 1-on-1 outside. Big gain on the back shoulder throw. A lot of protection here, as Mack and Allie-Cox help chip on the outside, but the interior gives Brissett a great pocket to step up into. Ryan Kelly comes in to help Glowinski and absolutely demolishes the DT. Drive ends with the great play design of the fake screen/scat option to Hines and the wide open Pascal for a TD.
3rd Drive (2nd Quarter):
Reich really picked on Deion Jones on the 3rd drive. 1st play, he gets a 1-on-1 with Doyle and gets burned badly. 2nd play is an RPO where Jones bites on the run and Brissett hits Campbell for 5. Then comes the big play (picture below), as Jones bites hard on the playaction fake to Mack, leaving a huge alley for Ebron on the crossing route. 3 plays, 50 yards from the shadow of the Colts endzone. And Jones missed the tackle on the big 3rd and 12 pickup from Hines later in the drive. It’s a shame this drive only resulted in 3 points. A missed assignment from Braden Smith on the 1 hurt. Pascal tipped an easy catch for Ebron. And the Falcons held Allie-Cox on an easy TD.

4th Drive (Final 2 minutes of 1st Half):
First poor play from Brissett. 2nd & 9, he correctly reads the coverage (Cover 1) and identifies the right target (Cain back shoulder), but the throw isn’t good. Cain turned his head and had time to pick up the ball, but it was pretty badly underthrown.
3rd & 9 – Kelly gets beat badly on a stunt. Colts get bailed out by Neal losing his footing and taking down Ebron for PI. This was actually a really good job by Brissett to avoid the initial pressure and get the throw off. Lesser QBs would’ve gone down and the PI never would’ve come into play.
2nd & 10 from midfield – This is just a 10 yard catch for Cain (picture below), but I want to call it out because of two things. First, the pass protection is phenomenal. Brissett threw after 4 seconds and likely could’ve had another 2 seconds clean. Second, this is a great read from Brissett against the Falcons coverage. They drop into a Cover 2 sink, where the corner takes away the deep corner/out (to Hilton in this case). Brissett keeps his eyes on the deep routes, holding the corner, then dumps it to Cain on the shallow cross for 5 in the air and 5 YAC.

3rd & 1 ATL 31 – Heads up play to quick snap and get Jarrett called for offside before he gets to the sideline.
1st & goal ATL 4 – I hesitate to call this a misread because it may have been a designed throw to Hines in the flat, but Ebron successfully picks Hilton’s man and Hilton had an easy TD if Brissett comes back to the right (picture below). They may have called Ebron for OPI, though. The pick was pretty egregious.

2nd & goal ATL 4 – I think Reich or Sirianni saw what happened the last time on the goal line and realized they could get Hilton on a quick out if they got Brissett enough time. Solid play and really well run route from Hilton.
5th Drive (1st of 2H):
This drive came down to the OL getting beat on what was otherwise a great day from them.
1st & 10 IND 25 – Nelson got pushed back badly, which blew up an outside run for a loss of 4.
2nd & 13 IND 21 – Smith got bullrushed & Castonzo got beat around the edge. Brissett had no options and took a sack.
