Also, the Chargers essentially had an extra down to work with for the entire 2nd half ...... because of the fact that they were so far behind on the scoreboard, they went for it on 4th down 4 times in the 2nd half in situations in which they would have punted (3 times) and attempted a field goal (1 time) had the game been closer.

So in a strange way, the Colts' defense was paying a price for the lead which the entire team built for themselves on both sides of the ball in their dominating 1st half.
