Of course our gameplanning was run heavy. The Colts had the 26th ranked rush defense in the entire league, not to mention the week long talk about the downpours and wind.
As noted yesterday, our record is now 5-0 against teams who rank in the bottom 10 in terms of rush defense. It's a bit different though vs teams who rank 1-22, which is to be expected, at 8-4 (still pretty good). It's common sense that we're going to struggle more against teams who are ranked higher in that category, especially being limited in the passing game.
Denver comes into next week's game as the 7th ranked rush defense in the league, so we'll be playing within the 8-4 category. It will be extremely important to have some success in the run game, preferably as early as possible; which will allow us to then hopefully have some success in the play action aspect.
