Week 10 vs cheats - stats and stuff

[HoosierinFL]

More pressure is always good but I just looked up some stats:

Colts defense is dead last in blitz % at 15% (compared to Vikings in 1st at 45%!)

Despite this, Colts are 11th in sack rate at 7.96% (compared to Browns at 11.28%).

Colts also had the highest sack rate in the past weekend's games, and are ranked 7th in sack rate over the past 3 weeks.

Also tied for 10th in total takeaways.

But when pressure doesn't get home, we're not really hurrying the opposing QBs, because the Colts defense is 25th in Hurry% and 23rd in pressure rate.

So we're somehow scheming a pretty decent sack rate without blitzing, but seemingly contradicting that is a weak pressure rate which likely accounts for the insane passing yards this defense has given up. But really this defense has given up a ton of yards. (worth noting that yards/play stat is more middle of the pack, and we've just ended up with a ton of plays against us, in fact, leading the league in that stat).

In the end, 5th in points against needs improvement.
