Anatomy Of The Drives: Patriots Edition

INDIANAPOLIS

Donte Moncrief’s five-yard touchdown catch from Andrew Luck

The scene: Tied at zero to start the game, the Colts offense began at their own 11-yard line following a 19-yard return from Griff Whalen.

The anatomy of the drive: 13 plays for 89 yards, in 7:44.

Key play: All things considered, the Colts were nearly flawless on their opening possession Sunday night. The drive included two third-and-short conversions but I’m going to point to the first play from scrimmage. Starting at their own 11-yard line wasn’t ideal.
