In honor of Iron Chef and Iron Chef: America, we have naming week’s edition of Inside the Numbers in the style of an episode of the long-running cable food shows:<\/p>\n
There’s no telling if turnovers, being unpredictable football fare, will play a pivotal role in Sunday’s MetLife Stadium clash between the Jets and Colts. But they may well be on the menu.<\/p>\n
Jets Offense Must Be on the Lookout
QB Aaron Rodgers has personally given the ball away 8 times this season (7 INTs, 1 FUM), up there but not his most after 10 games of a season (11 in 2022, 10 in 2016). The past 3 games, he’s thrown no picks and lost the one stripsack at Arizona.<\/p>\n
As for the A-Rod offense, it is 16th, right in the middle of the NFL pack, in terms of turnover drive rate, with Jets giveaways ending 10.9% of their offensive possessions, same as the league average.<\/p>\n
The Colts defense, meanwhile, has been one of the NFL’s best takeaway machines, with 9 fumble recoveries, tied for first in the league. The Indy defense has done it all different ways with 4 stripsacks, 3 fumble recoveries off rushes and 2 off receptions. Two games ago, CB Kenny Moore returned a strip of the Vikings’ Sam Darnold for a TD. The Jets must beware on all levels of their offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In honor of Iron Chef and Iron Chef: America, we have naming week’s edition of Inside the Numbers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,2381,929,88,6,8522],"class_list":{"0":"post-172288","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapoliscolts","13":"tag-latest-headlines","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-randy-lange"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114776569552412924","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
