JAX game silver linings

[Colts And Orioles]

This is a potential silver lining ......

When the offense is horrible, it also affects the defense ...... not only is the offense not scoring points when they play badly, but they also are usually not possessing the ball very much. Subsequently, the defense has to labor much more because they are on the field so much.

That factor (time of possession) combined with the fact that the Colts have been playing without their best player (Shaquille Leonard) tells me that the defense has probably been playing better than if one were just judging them by looking at the scoreboard ...... so if the offense can get their asses in gear and Matt Ryan starts to play like Matt Ryan, that could help the team exponentially besides the obvious (scoring points.)
