In the Ravens game the Patriots sowed general mayhem with odd formations.
In the Colts game that basically didn't work, with one big exception (and credit the announcers for getting something right by calling out this distinction) -- they ran a straightforward tackle-eligible pass for much more yardage than is common.
What they haven't done yet is go to a goofy formation and then lateral to an ineligible receiver. A long lateral is always dangerous, because of how easily it can go for six the other way. But it could work against a defense that is not covering the ineligible receiver.
Thoughts?
