Only other run, besides the fumble, I would criticize Mack on was a play in the red zone, looked like he had a wipe open path outside to the left and he seemed slow to make the turn or the edge ended up getting about 10 yards but I think it could have gone for longer or even a TD, I think they were at about the 20.
There was a similar play last game where he was slow to hit a big hole, made a good gain for 9 yards or so but really could have been a huge 30-40 yard gain. It seems 1-2 plays a game he has moments like that where you see the difference between him, a good RB, and what an elite RB would do.
But he also continues to block well.
I thought Mack played great overall. So did Wilkins when he got in to run and Hienes on pass catching.
It was the mistakes and the penalties that held back the offense, not the play calling or execution
Also TY Hilton, that play in the last two minutes of first half was huge to get out of the Colts end side of the field deep, the catch and run. Once again playing injured and making a big game changing play when needed.
