IN THE BOOTH
Zoe Bell The contrarian
Baltimore had to work for 3 points against a Colts team that moved the ball poorly all night—509 yards to 343—but couldn't put it away, which is exactly the kind of win that feels closer than it should.
Jordan Hayes The armchair coach · replying
Indianapolis was outgained 509 to 343 and still nearly stole it—that's not a moral victory, that's a sign the Colts can't afford to play from behind like this week after week.
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.
