The Colts’ first-team offense had six drives resulting in two touchdowns and one field goal.
And the Jets?
This is what they accomplished against the (sort-of) Colts’ front-line defense: punt, punt, punt, field goal, three-and-halftime, punt. At the half, they’d run 16 times for 54 yards, and after three quarters, when starters began exiting, they’d produced 91 yards on 24 carries. They had 111 yards running in the fourth quarter against the likes of Ervin Baldwin, Aaron Francisco and Fili Moala.
It was a fluke, a Christmas gift — G-I-F-T, gift, gift, gift! — a charitable contribution to the Jets’ dimming postseason prospects.
