That said, I think we could have mitigated our turnovers if we had sprinkles in the run. By becoming predictable I think they allowed TB to concentrate on passrush with their speed. We have one good receiver and then it’s iffy after that. I would force us to pass all the time if I was the opposing team.

I just can’t agree with that argument. Only one of the turnovers would have possibly been affected by that. Pascals fumble, Hines fumble, and the first interception had nothing to do with pressure. The last interception was a Hail Mary where Wentz was flushed from the pocket by a 3 man rush, but still not really applicable. So only the strip sack. But every RPO the team ran became a pass because TB was dead set in stopping the run - both in alignment and after the snap. That doesn’t fit the narrative of a team no longer concerned with the run. They were so concerned with the run that they sold out to stop it. Colts players just made too many bad plays.
