Brian Flores is a maniac: The Vikings blitzed on 85% of dropbacks Sunday, the 2nd highest blitz rate for ANY team in the last 20 seasons (2013 Cardinals - 88% at 49ers).
Stephen Holder@HolderStephen19h
From ESPN Research: Vikings blitzed Daniel Jones on 86% of his dropbacks in the 1st half (12 of 14). That would be the highest blitz rate in the NFL this season. The Vikings entered the day blitzing 68% of the time (next closest: Washington at 44%)

Great time at the Sunday evening get together for TribuneStar prep sports editor Andy Amey. Andy is celebrating his 55th year with the newspaper. And the Wabash Valley will continue to be blessed by Andy’s writing talents for years to come. He is not retiring any time soon.

This goes hand in hand with 2-5 and 3-game losing streak. Colts failed to win turnover battle in 12th stright game. Minus-9 on the season. And D has played a big part in that. 3 takeaways is tied-fewest in 1st 7 games (2012) in Indy era.

I can hear Jim Mora after Colts lost to SF 40-21 in 2001 (Manning 4 INTs, Indy 5 TOs). "Don't blame that on the defense." It led into his 'Playoffs?!?. For 3rd time in Indy era, 1st time since '19, Colts have lost consecutive games with D limiting opponent to 280 or fewer yds.

DeForest Buckner is (understandably) done. Asked for reaction to the Colts’ third straight loss, he said, “I don’t know. How ‘bout you guess. I’m frustrated.”

My ‘trusted source’ was spot on that Colts didn’t contact Peyton early in the week. At some point it only makes sense for Carlie Irsay-Gordon to use Peyton as a sounding board/consultant. But that prob will be extent of it.
