So who does the snow benefit here? The offense or defense? On one hand, do the Colts DB's really want to be chasing Tyreek, Sammy and Demarcus on a surface like that? I'd also speculate that the QB with the stronger arm should be the one who can cut through the showy elements. Some are talking about the "run game", but the Colts were gonna run the ball anyway. I just think this won't help the Colts defense when you're playing a team with so much speed in potentially slippery conditions.

Of course you want to play a speed offense in snow

Why is that debated?

Boarding a short flight from Phx to San Diego. There’s weirdly a large amount of Colts fans on my flight.

Weather looks completely fine for Pat

It benefits the team that prefers to run the football, which is the Colts. The fact Chiefs have one of the worst run defenses in the league does not help.

Lol ok

I don’t care what anybody says, the Colts are a dome team coming into a hostile environment and their QB is going to be hurt by the weather more than ours.

I'd argue against that. The Colts are a play action heavy offense.

We're going to be able to tee off on the run a bit more today than we would if it was 60 and sunny. The weather simplifies the defense for us a bit.

The Chiefs actually have the worst run defense in the last 10 years in the NFL. Snow conditions don't help them at all. Hope it stops and fast.

We havent lost a game this season because of a RB, wont happen today either.

well, on one hand, the fact that Mahomes is so good at improvisation and throwing from any platform is helpful. People are going to fall down, things are going to be weird, and he's great when things break down. On a slick, wet field, that might be a useful skill.

Laugh all you want. Andrew Luck is not a good QB outdoors. Look up his outdoor/indoor stats on Sports Reference. Luckily for the Colts, their hand is being forced by the weather to run the ball a lot more than normal.

The only good part of the Chiefs defense is the pass rush. That gets neutralized if the Colts run the ball 80% today.

I heard it's not going to stop.

Based on what? Arizona allowed 20 more YPG and 6 more TDs.

The only way the run game helps the Colts is if they can score any points.

Any word if Hooker is playing for colts?
