Insider: 3 ways Colts can coax more vintage performances out of Philip Rivers after bye

The Indianapolis Colts have to run the ball. Yes, there have been some victory formation kneel downs and loaded boxes late in wins, and yes the Colts are missing a valuable contributor in the until-now-underappreciated Marlon Mack, but 3.6 yards per carry and 98.0 yards per game isn’t going to cut it going forward. It’s that simple.

If the Colts (4-2) are going to catch the Tennessee Titans (5-0) in the AFC South or snag a Wild Card berth, they can’t rely on Philip Rivers to carry them the rest of the way. The old gunslinger proved against the Bengals he can still win a shootout.
