Maybe Houston had this whole run offense thing down entering this Colts’ game. They did a great job at throwing downfield to setup light boxes to open up their run game against Atlanta. There’s no such thing as establishing the run. You throw to run. And in last week’s game of keepaway, they mauled the second level. Sharp claws. Raking. Bloody. That sort of thing.
This week was back to the usual. Houston tried to establish the run. Despite all the resources they’ve put into it, they don’t have the ability to control and win games with their ground game alone.
