Little things in a BIG Way

The Indianapolis Colts were back and clicking on all cylinders Sunday as they overpowered the Baltimore Ravens. In what was expected to be a grind-it-out game between a powerful Ravens team and slow-starting Colts team, turned out to be a lopsided victory for the Colts. While it provided an amazing-to-watch game, it also showed the strength the Colts still possess.

They did not just beat a cellar team on Sunday 31-3, they put up 31 points on the #1 defense in the league. They also held the Ravens to a mere 51 yards rushing, 12 of those yards coming from QB scrambles. This is a better than average Ravens running team who faced a Colts team, who going in had allowed more than 150+ yards in every game this year. It would appear that the Colts found their mistakes on defense the past few weeks and corrected them on Sunday.

More will be written this week on the Colts and various NFL news, but before we depart for the evening I just want to remind readers on how I ended my last post. I said that we could say that the Colts haven't played well, but they still know how to win. And despite what other news outlets were saying about the Colts before Sunday, cough ESPN, I said that "I wonder what the Colts will look like when they are running on all cylinders?" Stamping my point that good teams will continue to learn, be patient, and do the little things right.
