Colts defense is porous and Luck has no run game to speak of to help

Herron was getting 5.1 ypc, better than anyone on the Patriots (well, except Edelmen with his one end-around). The real problem was that Indy's defense couldn't get off the field. Not counting garbage time the Patriots had 2 drives that didn't get points, their first (where the punt was muffed) and the INT that Indy scored off of. Once Indy was down so badly they couldn't credibly run it that much, and the Pats' pass defense was just too good for Luck to pick apart.
