Pretty much my thought as well. It’s possible for the Colts to beat KC in a track meet, but I don’t think it’s probable. Especially will a limited TY. Running the ball and shortening the game with some long sustained drives has all kinds of benefits for the Colts. Keeps the D fresh, helps keep the crowd in check, keeps their pass rush off balance and may make their offense impatient. Huge game for Mack if he wants to prove he should be the Colts RB1 going forward. He’s certainly shown the ability at times but is maddingly inconsistent. Most games he has the luxury of being the gravy. This is a game where he needs to be the main course. I’m cautiously optimistic he’s up for the challenge.
