Yet, their prolific offense has faltered because they have abandoned the run and have now lost 5 games in a season for the first time since 2002. This year's Colts team is ranked 19th in scoring defense with 21.6 points allowed per game and 18th in total points allowed with 22.9 points per game allowed. The reason is actually very simple - even as good as Peyton Manning has been at times this year and for his career, he needs a running game. Now it is time for Denver, meaning McDaniels, to make the same decision that the 1970 Colts team made - balance must be restored. Health and continuity have played a big part. Yes, Denver struggled with their offensive line for the entire first half of the year, but since the bye, it has improved drastically. Yet, they chose to run often, even if they only averaged just over 3 YPC. They also struggled to run with any type of success in an era where running the football was much more frequent. They suffered injuries like the Colts and Broncos this year. What does this have to do with Denver? More after the jump.Įven though the 1970 Colts team was 7th in scoring defense in a 26-team league, they made a key decision despite their struggles. Manning is on pace to break the NFL record for attempts per game with 44.2 attempts per game. This year, the Colts have 486 passing attempts and only 256 runs. In 1970, the Colts attempted 416 passes to go with 411 runs, almost 50-50. The author stated that offensive balance trumps being prolific. In an article written on ColdHardFootballFacts's (CHFF) website, they discussed the parallels between Johnny Unitas and his Championship Colts who won despite having a prolific running attack and Manning and the current Colts. Denver has still failed to develop any sense of offensive identity and the defense continues to battle injuries and at the same time work as a unit. While most have declared this season over, I would argue there is still much to be done. This will be a game that can either end Denver's season or offer a glimmer of hope. They travel to Arrowhead stadium to face off against the Chiefs at 1:00 PM EST.
