The biggest difference in those games...
Houston vs Indy -- Houston was up 13-0 in the 2nd and 13-10 at halftime. They got the ball first in the 2nd half and went on an 8 minute, 15 play drive where they ran 13 times to go up 20-13.
NYG vs Indy -- Giants got off to an awful start, 24-0 at halftime.
Denver vs Indy -- Indy was up 13-0 in the 2nd quarter.
Keep it close in the first half... move the pocket, run some screens/draws/quick passes to get the ball in the hands of the play makers to slow down the rush... and don't play catch up in the 2nd half. Just that easy.
