Analyzing Colts’ snap counts from 25-20 win over Raiders

Despite the outside noise and distractions surrounding the Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1), they came away with a 25-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.

It was one of their best offensive peformances of the season. The offensive line held up strong, providing solid protection and lanes for Jonathan Taylor to run through.
