Analysis: Ravens vs. Colts - The tactical panel

The colts mainly played in the base defense, so with three liner and four men in the Secondary. In addition, a safety frequent was preferred to the box to better react to the Run Game of Ravens. In addition, they played zone to keep his eyes on Jackson to curb its excursions. That sat noticeably the households, because they did not have the place they have otherwise. The fact that the linebackers were laterally traveling very fast, Outside Runs rarely worked. It was striking that the raves other than usual, especially on short passports. Deep Shots remained largely. They sat on screens and many Crossing Routes to bring their playmakers into play. However, gaps in the zone rarely on, as the colts acted very disciplined and not excessively aggressive.

Late in the second half, however, the Ravens then found an answer: they put on spread formations around with more receivers, which forced the colts into the sub-package. Accordingly, no one was there to be Tight End Andrews to covern, which was always open with Crossern, Seam-Routes and Shallow-Routes and brought Baltimore back into the game. Offensively, the Colts responded to numerous flashes of ravens with fast, short passports and running recordings at the flash. Especially the screens and drop-offs on Taylor proved to be extremely effective and showed that Taylor appears to be a greater aid in the passport than so far.
