Excellent point. The Colts don't have a "high powered" offense like the Rams or Vikings did. They have a great trio of players and a very good TE. Unlike the Rams who use fast, multi-receiver sets, the Colts often utilize a 2 TE set. They keep a lot of players on the line to protect Manning so he can find a) James on a swing pass, b) Dilger in the middle or c) Harrison anywhere he wants to be. The Colts execute exceptionally well.
Perhaps the Chiefs are attempting to use the Colts as a model for their offense. A pocket passer (Grbac), two TE's, Richardson as the fast lone back and hopefully Morris as the big, speedy go to receiver.
