And not just win them....

Dominate them.

The defense is WAY ahead of schedule.

#11 in scoring defense (points per game allowed = 21.4)
#10 in yards allowed (341.5 yards per game)
#15 in passing yards allowed (237.9 yards per game)
#08 in rushing yards allowed (103.6 yards per game)
#12 in team sacks (38 for season or 2.71 per game). Last year we had 25.
#13 in team interceptions (12 for season). Last year we had 13.
#06 in TDs allowed (19 for season). Last year we allowed 23.

No matter how you slice it, we are a top half of the league defense bordering on a top ten defense for 2018.

Our run game CAN dominate at times as well.

While only #22 for rushing per game for the season (103.8 ypg), performances during our 7 - 1 win streak have been:

Week 15 / DAL / WIN / 178 yards rushing - Excellent
Week 14 / HOU / WIN / 050 yards rushing
Week 13 / JAX / LOSS / 041 yards rushing
Week 12 / MIA / WIN / 118 yards rushing - Acceptable
Week 11 / TEN / WIN / 102 yards rushing - Acceptable
Week 10 / JAX / WIN / 081 yards rushing
Week 09 / OAK / WIN / 222 yards rushing - Excellent
Week 08 / BUF / WIN / 220 yards rushing - Excellent

or 126.5 yards per game that would rank the Colts #9 in the NFL if substained over a whole season.

There is a LOT more to this young team than just Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton!

Walk Worthy,
