Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson helped propel the ground attack in the win against the Dolphins.
-led backfield managed to total just 80 yards on the ground on 2.9 yards per carry. With Richardson back in the lineup for week seven, the Colts were able to boost that total to 155 yards rushing and 4.2 yards per carry.
There were several big runs for the Colts' offense on Sunday that were a direct result of Richardson's presence on the field and this first explosive foris a great example. The play side defensive end and the nickel cornerback both crash inside on Richardson on the read option, leading to a massive opening to the edge for Goodson to turn the corner.
The beauty of the +1 QB in the run game is that the numbers for the offense add another weapon to attack with. If this were Flacco in the backfield, the Colts would have six blockers and the running back to account for seven players on the line plus that safety over the top. By adding a quarterback rushing threat, the Colts have another player to stress the defense in the backfield.
