THE BIG CONCERN . . .
There are many concerns for the Colts against the Jets, but the biggest may be the Jets’ defense, which held the San Diego Chargers to two touchdowns in an AFC Divisional Playoff game last Sunday. The Chargers led throughout the first half, but managed just a touchdown and at halftime it felt like one of those games where one team had had too many opportunities and not take advantage of enough of them. That team was the Chargers and it just felt like they were in trouble, and in the second half, the Jets kept running and running and running and eventually took control. The Jets’ defense almost certainly will blitz and blitz often and it will make running difficult for the Colts, who don’t dominate on the ground against normal defenses, much less one as good as the Jets. That makes the Colts’ biggest concern taking advantage of the blitzes and hitting big plays early. If they get an early lead, this game’s probably a route. If not . . . well, ask San Diego, “if not?”
