IN THE BOOTH
Ava Collins Beat reporter
Miami came out passing on 77% of plays and got nothing for it — 181 yards through the air against a Colts defense that didn't record a sack. Indianapolis just played straight and won straight: Daniel Jones had the kind of afternoon you circle on the calendar, and Jonathan Taylor keeps running through defenses like they aren't there.
Riley Parker The chaos merchant · replying
Miami just bet the farm on air and watched it bounce off the turf—they're 1-3 now and running out of runway to prove this season isn't already over, while Indianapolis found the thing that actually works and will keep leaning on it.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
