2. The Raiders had a 30-yard pick 6 on the Brissett INT.

3. The Raiders had a 60-yard TD run from RB Trevor Davis.

4. TY Hilton DNP.

5. Time of possession went to the Raiders 33:41 to the Colts 26:19.

OTOH, the Raiders (of course) had 11 penalties for 80 yards giving the Colts 4 first downs from penalty.

So, there's the blueprint.....

That's how the Raiders did it, but their whole season reveals a simple blueprint.

In the Colts 3 wins they have after 1 quarter lead every time. In their 2 losses they trail after the 1st every time.

They can't throw the ball. They can run the ball. They can rush the passer. Lead after the 1st quarter and you win.

My goodness, the Astros certainly had Minute Maid Park rockin' last night. After Osuna gave everyone a Lidge/Pujols moment (reminding everyone that they still live in Houston), Jose Altuve sent everyone home with a grin on their face.

Congratulations, Astros, on heading to another World Series!

Gametime in about 2 hrs, 20 minutes.....
