Patriots Week 11 By The Numbers

[mabrowndog]

 

The Run Defense: (RB YPC not counting QB or WR runs): 14 carries for 4 yards, 0.3 YPC.
The Colts had just one rushing first down, at 6:15 left in the fourth quarter.
League average: 4.1 YPC
Patriots season average: 4.3 YPC

 
I mean, holy effing crap.

I'm not sure which sounds more disparaging 0.3 YPC or 10.2 inches per carry....

The three stats that jumped out at my when compiling that were Indy's rushing "attack," Fleener's huge game, and the Pats going 9 of 12 on 3rd down, which is ridiculous.

An NFL football is about 11 inches...

What 4 yards on 14 carries looks like:
1, 0, 3, 5, -2, 2 (plus a Nink penalty), -3, 0 (plus a Nink penalty), 0, -3 (and a fumble), 1, 0, 2 (and a first down), -2

You know you must have some exploitable issues along your interior line when Chris Jones is able to have a dominate game against the run. Granted, we are dealing with 14 carries but that was a completely non-competitive effort in run blocking.
