Freeney and Mathis earning their keep
While many have questioned how badly the Colts actually want to win right now, the continued play of Dwight Freeney (+1.7) and Robert Mathis (+2.3) shows that they, in the very least, want to win. Mathis registered a hit and three pressures on Sunday from his left defensive end spot, while Freeney was able to sack Flacco twice and add another pressure from the right. Both of Freeney’s sacks came on third downs, but his play on 3rd-and-3 with 11:13 left in the third quarter was particularly impressive. Freeney beat McKinnie with the spin move straight from the snap and had Flacco sacked 2.6 seconds after the snap.
