Down starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, here are some key trends about the Colts that Cleveland can consider for Sunday
The"rebuilding" franchise, is off to a 3-3 start to the season and three of their last four games have come down to a single possession. They are a scrappy team, despite losing rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson for the season with, ironically, a shoulder injury of his own.
Given the absence of Anthony Richardson, the Colts have found refuge in their run game, which is top-10 in terms of total yards for the season . For most of 2023, Zack Moss has been the backfield headliner, but with Jonathan Taylor back in the fold in recent weeks Indy has a legitimate two-headed monster of a running back room.
On the flip side, the Browns defense is yielding the third least amount of rushing yards per game . Cleveland's trend of shutting down an opponent's run game will have to continue in Week 7.NFL fans may remember the joys of Minshew Mania in 2019 and 2020. The Washington State product burst onto the scene and started winning some games for Jacksonville, contributing plenty of meme-able moments along the way.
For his career, Minshew is 1-12 in games where he throws an interception. Additionally, he has a 6-14 record in games where he attempts 30 or more passes. The key here for Cleveland, in lieu of the first key stat is: make Minshew have to beat you. The more Minshew throws, the more likely it is the Browns force him into a mistake, and the more he throws, the more likely Indianapolis is to lose.A final key stat ahead of Sunday's matchup, centers around the the Colts red zone defense.
