Atlanta Falcons vs Indianapolis Colts in Berlin | Week 10 Game Preview

Atlanta Falcons vs Indianapolis Colts in Berlin | Week 10 Game Preview

It’s an NFL South crossover episode. Both these teams crossing continents for this one NFL Berlin style. Yes, this is Munich singing John Denver as one. And one of these two will cross back over to Dub country when it’s over. The Atlanta Falcons coming up just short versus New England week nine taking on the Indianapolis Colts overseas who just had their four-game win streak snapped. Jones intercepted. Joey Porter Jr. says, “Good night.” There’s some simplicity to all this with the Colts. They’re seven and two now. 29 plus points in each of their wins. Both losses. Offense only able to muster 20. Let’s take a listen. Oh yeah. Golly. Lost both their games 27 to 20. Actually, both losses the only two games Daniel looked more Danny Dimes and not so much Indiana Jones. He threw two INTs, an 80 rate in their loss to the Rams. Three INTs, a 63 rate in their loss to Pittsburgh. He’ll throw it. Intercepted. It’s picked off by Wilson. Jones with a 100 plus rate in each of their seven wins. Take it a step further. His season rate is 101, but versus the Blitz, it drops to 93. That’s relevant this week because no team has been sending five plus more often this year than Atlanta. It helped them sack Drake May last week six times. Scooped up by Pierce on the return and Campbell trips him up. Jones through 50 times a week ago, sacked five times in the process. Most he’s taken this season. Recover the ball. The holy trifecta for the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Atlanta’s ability to get to May didn’t translate to great defense or pass defense though. They gave up a 102 rate to May. 250 plus yards, almost nine yardds per attempt, and two TDs. And look where Drake May has time to not only survey the field, but step up and find Pop Douglas. Falcons secondary holding quarterbacks to an 88 rating in 2025, but have struggled their last two outings in which their defense has given up 24 plus points back-to-back games. 24 to New England, 8 for 12 on third down, three for four in the red zone. May over the middle, he’s got Hunter Henry. turns it up field and picks up the first down. 51 yds allowed to tight end Hunter Henry last week. 38 yds and a TD to Stfan Diggs. 100 yards and a touchdown to Deario Douglas. Jones still threw for 342 yards versus Pittsburgh. Josh DS 57 yds and a score. Open man is DS for the score. Touchdown Indianapolis. Downs with a TD and three straight. Michael Pitman, nine catches, 115 yards versus the black and gold. Hits the open man. Michael Pitman. First down, Indianapolis. And Alec Pierce with 115 yards, his first 100redyd game. Yeah, Alec Pierce is one of those deep threats where he has the speed to do it down the field. DJ wasn’t the only Colt to flame out versus Pittsburgh. JT with just 45 yards a season low. Jonathan Taylor 3.2 a carry and then driven backwards. No gain on the play. Atlanta held New England’s backs under four per run. Brought their season number versus running backs down to 4.3. Not great, but better than the league average of 4.4. Gets right by M. Holland gets in the back field and comes up with a tackle for a loss. Atlanta’s own star running back also comes in off a subpar game as a runner. Bean Robinson only 46 yards last week. 3.8 a carry. Robinson couldn’t see it, pointing up at the sun and it’s fourth down. Bejian has struggled in three straight, choking it after he hit Buffalo with 170, less than 47 yards in three straight, less than four yards per carry, three straight. Atlanta 23 points in their week nine loss. Dang kicker or would have been 24 and who knows how much more. But the one for 10 showing on third down has to be fixed too. throws and completes it, but well short of a first down. Overall, Atlanta has only passed the 24 point marker twice in eight games. Indy’s defense, they just gave up 27 to Pittsburgh. Catch, turn, touchdown. Frier move got some butts here. Not as many as a Nikki vid, but their own offense giving the ball up six times tilted things. They held Pittsburgh to 4 for12 on third down. Stopped half of the six red zone trips they faced. Held Aaron Rogers to 203 yards just 5.8 yards per attempt. So it sets up a third and long now for Pittsburgh. 920 mark of the second quarter. And now they have sauce they can pour on to London if he’s healthy. Anyway, Colts shocking the NFL world this week. Trading for Gardner. hasn’t been as locked down as normal, but Indianapolis is banking big that he will return to form with a shoe on his helmet. DK Metaf matched up with Sauce Gardner. They’re holding quarterbacks to an 87 rating. So, right next door to Atlanta. They dropped Rogers three times. Only a handful of teams with more than their 26 sacks. Rogers on a third and 11 will take the sack. They unleash all that on Michael Penn. He only took one sack on 37 pass attempts versus New England. Returned from a one-week absence due to an injury. Came back to throw three touchdowns without being picked off. A nice 103 rating. Trying a deep shot. Looking for London. Flag is down. London makes the catch. Only the second game with a 100 plus rate. Only six yards per attempt last week, too. Colts DBs held DK Metaf to two catches, six yardds. 56 yards given up to Calvin Austin. Held everyone else under 45 yards. Drake London is Penn’s go-to, of course. Went to him for all three of his touchdowns. 118 yards. If he actually brought this one in, one foot, two, wow, that’s a CO plus in three of Drake’s last four now. Touchdowns in three of his last four, too. Kyle Pittz, 38 yards versus the Pats. Darnell Mooney 15. Bejon had trouble low, but 50 yards up high at least. Penn. Oh, what a catch with one hand. Bjon Robinson. And as for when Robinson runs, Colts held Jaylen Warren to a poultry 1.9 a carry on 16 tries, now holding backs to 3.9 for the year. He knew exactly what play was going to be run and made the most out of it. Kind of odd. This is one of the more lopsided matchups in NFL lore. The Colts have played the Falcons 18 times and won 15 of them. They took the first 10 in a row. It took until 1998 for Atlanta to finally get on the board. I know it’s going to happen, guys. Let’s lay it online. Next play is the biggest play of the game. Let’s get it done. Let’s win this thing on three. 1 2 3. And a week later, after shaking off injuries, quarterback Chris Chandler didn’t miss a step and threw for a season high 297 yards and two touchdowns against the Colts. Jamal still on his feet trying to get some extra yardage header as Chandler and the Falcons build their record to 11 and two. Two years ago, three and 13 with this game. [Music] [Music]
