Let’s run the damn ball, indeed!

As a long-time Colts fan – dating back to the days of Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, etc – it’s funny witnessing this team’s transformation into a dominant, run-first offense. For years, the Colts had a below-average running game and were heavily reliant on their passing attack. But a good switch up doesn’t hurt nobody right?

Throughout this entire season, the Colts’ offense has lived by the quote “Run The Damn Ball” and it was best defined during their performance against the Jaguars on Sunday. Not only did the AFC South competitor run for 264 yards (the most they ran for in a game in 15 years) and three touchdowns, but they accomplished a rare feat.

For the first time since 1985, the Colts produced a single-game rushing performance where two running backs eclipsed the 100-yard mark. Starter Marlon Mack had 109 and one of his back up’s in Jonathan Williams finished with 116.
