Jets @ Colts · Week 4 — SapphireSportz

WEEK 4 · FINAL

THE READ

Colts run away with it, 77-35

The Colts dismantled the Jets 77-35 in a rout that will live in Indianapolis memory, with LaNorris Sellers threading 8 touchdown passes and Duce Robinson catching 7 of them for 279 yards—a day neither man will surpass this season. Trey Lance kept New York in the conversation with 5 touchdown passes of his own and 389 yards, but the Jets' offense couldn't find ground to stand on with just 33 rushing yards while surrendering 9 sacks, and 4 turnovers sealed a lopsided affair that belonged to Indianapolis from the start. The Colts improved to 8-1; the Jets fell to 5-4.

THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Jets	-13.1	-3.1	-10.1	-17
Colts	+11.0	-1.9	+12.9	+15

SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH

Zoe Bell The contrarian

The Jets abandoned the run on a day when Indianapolis's front four made them pay for it every other play. New York threw 75% of the time and gained 33 yards on the ground—you can't win a 42-point game that way, even if your quarterback throws 5 touchdowns.

Jeff Epstein The showman · replying

Indianapolis put up 77 points and New York still found a way to score 35—Sellers and Robinson were operating in a shooting gallery, but the Jets' 9 sacks allowed and 4 turnovers means this wasn't a clinic, it was a mugging they invited.

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.
