Week 7 vs the Browns - Stats and Stuff
 

Im still pissed about this game. I’ll start with the fumble that was negated by a penalty.

Josh Downs is progressing nicely.

Downs’ current pace as a Colts rookie vs other receivers:

80 receptions (1st)
973 yards (2nd)
5 TDs (T6th)

The Colts are the only team in the NFL this year to score at least 20 points every game.

What an enormous departure from last year, so fucking refreshing.

Downs is already a stud. He’s a poor man’s TY Hilton in my opinion.

Stats of Colts WR's through their first 7 games of their rookie season:

Most Receptions:

33 - Josh Downs
30 - Austin Collie
25 - Marvin Harrison
24 - T.Y. Hilton, Alec Pierce, and Michael Pittman Jr.

Most Receiving Yards:

428 - Bill Brooks
401 - Josh Downs
373 - Alec Pierce
355 - T.Y. Hilton
302 - Michael Pittman Jr.
297 - Marvin Harrison

Colts have played against three of the top ten defenses in the league. The Browns were 1 and have dropped to 10 after playing the colts.

Colts have two DEs in the top 11 in Run stop win rate.

Gotta admit I was not in favor of firing Reich, but it looks like it was the right move.

Although I didn’t know about the lack of discipline and accountability at the time.

Outside of the blown 69-yarder by Ford... the rest of the game CLE had 71 plays for 247 yards at 3.4 yards-per-play. 81 rush yards at 2.5ypc.

The fact that they scored 39 points is bananas. This was even more of a '22 loss than last week. These were negative plays that were augmented into the worst possible case scenario over and over.
