Colts big-play ground game on pace for 25-year high in explosive rushes

How impressive has the Indianapolis Colts’ running game been this season? It’s been a major talking point thus far through the first six weeks of the season, both locally and nationally.

The Colts have posted at least 165 rushing yards in three of their first five games, and we’ve witnessed Marlon Mack grow into what we’d all hoped he would — a big-play threat, but also a workhorse back in his third season with the Colts.

His 6-foot, 210-pound frame sounds powerful on the surface, yet he’s still more of a quick-twitch speed back as opposed to a pounding force in the team’s running game.
