Every week Jacoby Brissett Jersey , I will present a summary of some basic and advanced stats for the Colts performance relative to the league. Thanks to Pro Football Reference, NFL.com and the nflSCrapR project for being awesome sources of weekly data.The Colts defense opened up the day by holding Jacksonville’s first drive to just 5 scrimmage yards. They followed that by giving up a 97 yard TD drive.It was that kind of day.On the last 4 drives, the Colts defense allowed only 3 points and produced a game saving takeaway so you could say that the defense didn’t break. But prior to that, they did a whole lotta breakin’.On the day, the Jaguars posted 24 first downs and a 77.4% Drive Success Rate. TEAM TOTALS2 of the Jags 24 first downs came from Colt penalties, which is something this defense can’t continue to do. And by “can’t”,I mean they probably will. The Jags averaged 6.4 yards to go on 3rd downs (when they actually made it to 3rd downs) resulting in a high 52.9% conversion rate.PASSINGBortles completed 69% of his passes, but that success came at the cost of distance. His average depth through the air was only 3.7 yards and an even shorter 2.1 yards for completions. At that distance, a 69% completion rate is about league average. The way you beat that high-completion underneath game is to limit the yards after the catch, which the Colt defense failed to do in spectacular fashion, yielding 9.9 yards on average.51% of Bortles’ passes were at or behind the line of scrimmage and on those plays the Colts gave up 10.2 YAC. Think about that. On average, our pass defense basically gave up a first down every time Bortles threw a short pass . . . which was all day.That is so bad, that I made a graph of it.This doesn’t even show the 80 yard TD pass, which was the only Jacksonville pass attempted beyond 10 yards and was defended so horribly that it is literally off the chart.RUSHINGWith a 30% weighted Success Rate against, the Colts kept the Jaguar run game in check.Indy held Leonard Fournette to just 53 yards on 24 carries (this is me not mentioning his additional 5 receptions for 56 yards and a TD).Out of 34 team carries, the Jags could only break 10 yards twice and about 1鈦? of their carries resulted in negative yardage. CONCLUSIONSWhile they showed up at the end, it wasn’t a good day for the defense.They played against Jacksonville about exactly the same as Jacksonville’s defense played against us. The run game was shut down, but the pass game was open for business.Each defense gave up a 77% DSR and so it’s no surprise that this game came down to the last possession. SEASON TOTALS (per game) EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. 鈥?Broadway Joe will be in the building. So will the rest of the 1968 New York Jets Reggie Wayne Color Rush Jersey , celebrating the 50th anniversary of the squad that won the franchise’s only Super Bowl.Nostalgia will be all around MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with rookie Sam Darnold and this year’s Jets team trying to set a much more modest goal against the Indianapolis Colts 鈥?not coincidentally, the franchise New York beat for that 1969 title while it was in Baltimore.Coming off an聽impressive 34-16 victory over Denver last Sunday聽and with the likes of Joe Namath and Don Maynard watching, New York will look to win consecutive games for the first time since taking three straight in Weeks 3-5 last season 鈥?over a year ago.“We’ve got a good team,” Darnold said. “It’s just about putting together the pieces. Obviously, we put some together this past Sunday. We’ve just got to build off of it and, for me personally, I’ve just got to stay consistent.”The Jets (2-3) have struggled with that. They opened the season with a 48-17 romp at Denver and then had clunkers against Miami, Cleveland and Jacksonville before getting back in the win column last weekend.“We have to grow up and find a way to string games together and get on winning streaks,” left tackle Kelvin Beachum said, “instead of losing streaks.”That’s what Andrew Luck and the struggling Colts (1-4) will be looking to stop when they take the field.Indianapolis has lost three in a row, is missing some key players such as wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end Jack Doyle to injuries, and could see its season spiral with another defeat. The Colts, however, aren’t thinking about that right now.“I love that this team has no quit,” tight end Eric Ebron said. “I love the story that we’ll have and I say that because we’re very young, we’re all beat up, and what people don’t tend to realize is that you don’t stay beat up forever. You get healthy, you get guys back and then you start to establish a dominance.”The Jets just want to prevent that turnaround from starting Sunday.“We know our defense has their hands full https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Rigoberto-Sanchez-Jersey , but it’s also going to be a dogfight for us too, because they have a great defense,” Darnold said. “We’re really looking forward to the challenge, though, knowing how great of a quarterback Andrew is.”BIG DEALThis will mark the first time the teams face each other since swinging聽a stunning trade in March that changed the top of the NFL draft.The Jets acquired the No. 3 overall pick from the Colts to move up to take Darnold,聽giving them the franchise-type quarterback they’ve been seeking.New York sent Indianapolis the No. 6 selection, which the Colts used to pick current starting left guard Quenton Nelson. The Jets also shipped two second-round picks this year 鈥?one with which Indianapolis took starting right guard Braden Smith; the other was used in a trade 鈥?along with a second-rounder next year.FLYING CROWELLJets running back Isaiah Crowell leads the AFC with 390 yards rushing and ranks third in the NFL behind only Dallas’ Ezekiel Elliott (480) and the Rams‘ Todd Gurley (415).Crowell soared up the list against Denver last Sunday when he set a franchise record with 219 yards rushing on just 15 carries. It also put the controversy from the previous weeks far behind him after he was fined $13,369 by the NFL and scolded by coach Todd Bowles for wiping his rear end with the football after scoring a touchdown at Cleveland in Week 3.LOTS OF LUCKLuck has thrown 121 passes in his last two games and聽leads the league with 245 attempts through five games聽.Not bad for a guy who missed all last season with a shoulder injury, but the Colts might not want to keep their franchise QB back there throwing so much. After all, he’s on pace to throw 784 times this season, which would shatter Matthew Stafford‘s single-season record of 727 for Detroit in 2012.Colts coach Frank Reich attributes the high number to his team falling behind early in games, causing Luck and the offense to play catch-up through the air.SLAUSON DONEColts right guard Matt Slauson got his NFL start with the Jets in 2009, but this weekend’s reunion plan has changed because of a back injury.Slauson landed on season-ending injured reserve聽earlier this week after doctors diagnosed him with two broken vertebrae. Without Slauson, Smith could make his second straight start 鈥?this time at his more natural position. The rookie started last week at right tackle.DEFENSIVE STRIDESIndianapolis’ defense has made a steady progression under first-year coordinator Matt Eberflus. While the Colts are tied for third in the league with 17 sacks and have moved out of the bottom quadrant in yards allowed, they’re No. 23 in total defense.Individually, there are more promising signs.Rookie linebacker Darius Leonard leads the league with 54 tackles, even after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury. Defensive end Margus Hunt leads the NFL with nine tackles for loss.100View Gallery Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj Mehta
