The Colts had an astounding 45 rushing attempts for 180 yards and 1 score last night. Reich knew that in order for the Colts to have a shot at winning, the Colts running game had to carry the team and keep the ball out of Patrick Mahomes’ hands. The Colts did just that, leading in time of possession 37:15 for the Colts to 22:45 for the Chiefs. This huge difference in possession time meant the Colts defense was not gassed at the end of the game. The difference was key in the second half, where the Colts offense did not have a single 3 and out and allowed the defense to be fresh to face Mahomes.
