Rushing yards Colts 74 Chiefs 148
First downs Colts 10 Chiefs 33.
Time of possession Colts 25:28 Chiefs 42:35.
In reality, we should have lost this game by 2+ touchdowns. Thats concerning. We really got dominated outside of a couple of flukey plays.

I would not point the blame to Wads/Gardner. It seemed every big play by them was made to a guy being covered by Franklin. They dude could not cover a paraplegic. Need an upgrade there most importantly. Then we need a good replacement for Buckner, as he is on the back end of his career. I probably think we need to make a swing at his replacement in the second round this next draft, and get Franklin's replacement in the third. Get line depth and safety depth in the later rounds.
