The Setup: Numbers Don't Lie
Game Situation: Miami Dolphins vs Indianapolis Colts, 2nd Quarter, 2:52 remaining, Dolphins leading 7-0
Formation: “Pat” (gender neutral formation) a deceptive twist on traditional Power formations
Personnel: 21 (2 RB, 1 TE) - The classic personnel group hiding modern mathematics
Down & Distance: 1st & 10 - Traditional defense's most vulnerable decision point
Field Position: Own 20-yard line - The "forgotten zone" where defenses typically play predictably
Game Context: Critical momentum point - Colts' defense showing adaptation through data-driven adjustments (68% success rate on subsequent series), but Miami's formation creativity is testing their algorithmic response system
