The Indianapolis Colts (2-1) moved into the win column again with a dominating 36-7 victory over the New York Jets (0-3) on Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium.
In what was another big day from the defense against a lowly offense, the Colts grabbed another three interceptions for the second week in a row. Two of them were taken back for touchdowns while the defense scored 16 points on the day.
Here’s a look at the offensive snap counts from the Week 3 win:
Analysis:
- WR Zach Pascal led the room on Sunday playing 93% of snaps. His knowledge of the offense and blocking ability will keep him on the field almost all of the time.
- WR T.Y. Hilton looked much better in the win but again played just 52% of the snaps in a run-heavy game script.
- The backfield saw more of a true split with Jonathan Taylor leading the way, followed closely by Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins.
- TE Mo Alie-Cox seems to be carving out his role quickly, out-snapping starter Jack Doyle.
Here’s a look at the defensive snap counts in Week 3:
Analysis:
- The Colts were in nickel almost all of the time with T.J. Carrie, Xavier Rhodes and Kenny Moore all playing almost identical snaps.
- LB Bobby Okereke had double the snaps of Anthony Walker. The takeover for the second-year backer seems to be happening quickly.
- Rookie S Julian Blackmon again sees 64% of the snaps in his first start.
- DE Ben Banogu and DT Tyquan Lewis got an increase in snaps from the last two weeks.
