In the second half, they had an 11 play, 7 minute drive and a 14 play, 9 minute drive.
That's 16 minutes on two drives. 16 minutes that Mahomes sat on the sideline.
That's over one quarter of the game that was drained away by 2 Colts drives.
You're fooling yourself if you don't see that as a major problem, and probably the biggest factor in losing at home to the Colts. Everyone knew they were going to run the ball...but our defense couldn't do a ****ing thing about it. They got dragged up and down that field...all night long.
