The Colts' defense was definitely porous at times today, giving up 2nd-and-long and 3rd-and-longs on several occasions throughout the game.

And I understand what you are saying about the big chunks of yardage that they gave up after the timeout call, but considering what the NFL is today, excellent QB's like Josh Allen need very little time to get themselves into field-goal range right before halftime and/or at the end of a game ...... in the 2021 divisional playoff round, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen scored 3 times in the final 1:02 of regulation (2 TD's and 1 FG) to send the game into overtime.

There was no need to tempt fate there, especially with a QB like Allen.
