Indianapolis Colts Offense (1986) - Rod Dowhower

The 1986 Indianapolis Colts offense faced numerous challenges as a young and inexperienced unit. Struggling to put points on the board, they ranked 27th in the NFL for scoring, averaging just 14.3 points per game. Additionally, their total yards averaged only 305.9 per game, ranking 28th in the league.

Quarterback Jack Trudeau, in his second season as a starter, led the Colts' offense. Trudeau demonstrated promise by throwing for 2,225 yards and eight touchdowns. However, he also struggled with 17 interceptions, showcasing talent but inconsistency.

At the helm was head coach Rod Dowhower, overseeing his second and final season with the Indianapolis Colts. Unfortunately, the Colts' offense faced challenges under Dowhower's leadership, struggling to score and ranking low in total yards.

The 1986 Indianapolis Colts employed a pro-style offense, emphasizing a balanced approach between running and passing. This offensive strategy was designed to effectively counter various defensive schemes.

Notably, the Colts' pro-style offense boasted a roster of talented running backs and receivers. Rookie Albert Bentley stood out as the leading rusher, known for his physical running style and ability to gain yards after contact. Another rookie, Willie Anderson, emerged as the team's primary receiver, showcasing his speed and athleticism, especially in making significant downfield plays.
