Colts Time of Possession Leader

[loudnproudcolt]

Colts.com has an article today showing Colts lead in plays per game run by offense. When you look a little deeper, look at the Possession Time, and the Colts lead the league. It is incredible how much they have held the ball, and really reflects how much the OL has improved. The last three games we have held the ball for an average of 39.43 minutes. An incredible two to one ratio in possession time. For the season 36.55 minutes. Everyone on the planet keeps talking about Dallas and there run game, and how great they are. I have to give them props, surprised me, but I never hear the Colts mentioned, and the Cowboys who are in second place are a full 3:05 minutes behind us. Just an incredible stat. I have listed all the teams below, the stats come from Team Rankings for anyone interested, and I will post the link. How great is it to have an OL and all these playmakers? Remember pre-season how everyone was so worried about the OL. I was one of them, seems distant now.
