If you trust the stats from Grantland's Bill Barnwell, the number of pass plays is greater, but the percentage isn't. The explanation is that they're just running a whole lot more plays:
Quote:Theyre not throwing a larger percentage of the time. Theyre just doing everything more frequently. The Colts have run 460 offensive plays this year. Thats insane. Its 50 more plays than the second-place Eagles,1 who have the reputation as footballs fastest team. The Eagles are closer to being below the league average of 366.7 plays than they are to matching Indys total. Even on a per-play basis, the Colts are running a league-high 76.7 plays per game, more than six plays per game ahead of the second-place Saints (70.3).http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nfl-we...from-here/
