Steel Maniac's Time-Based Prediction: Lamar Jackson will be a bust and total flop in the NFL.
What Actually Happened: Lamar Jackson became the youngest two-time NFL MVP winner ever.

Maybe, but Luck is also 2nd in the league on pass attempts. this tells me Arians could care less about a run game even on his new team (not that the Colts have an RBs to speak of) this may work in a dome, but let's see how well in works in GB or NE this December. It has been shown time and again, one dimensional teams can be shut down.
They say:
Bruce Arians is doing a bang-up job as Colts' OC/interim HC.
I say:
It's been mostly LUCK.
Haley is the MVP of the team at this point. He's made the offense much more efficient. And consequently (because T.o.P.), he has helped minimize the exposure of a D that can be exploited (despite the rankings).
Haley "won't be afraid to run up the score" on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10
By Neal Coolong on Nov 7
ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned at least a trace of animosity from current Steelers offensive coordinator and former Chiefs head coach as he prepares to face his old team in Week 10.
ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Sportscenter Wednesday Steelers offensive coordinator "won't be afraid to run up the score" on the Kansas City Chiefs - his former employer - when the teams face each other on Monday Night Football in Week 10.
It's hard to blame him. Unceremoniously dumped in the middle of the season, Haley was forced to take the brunt of the criticism regarding the Chiefs' bi-polar 2011 season, landing him in Pittsburgh.
Since then, the Steelers are enjoying an offense that's improving steadily each week, and is among the team's best rushing teams over the course of their three-game winning streak.
The Chiefs have gone in the opposite direction, coming into the game at 1-7, and having yet to hold a lead for a measurable amount of time. Their lone win came off a game-winning field goal over New Orleans in Week 3.
Haley's offense has yet to score more than 31 points, a tally that came in a 34-31 loss at Oakland in Week 3. Their new life on the ground seems to indicate a bit fewer points, but more time of possession in the grand scheme of things. Blowout or otherwise, Haley must also remember he was in charge of the team in 2009 and 2010, when the Chiefs upset the Steelers and came within one drive of defeating them at Heinz Field.
Showing up his former boss has to serve as quality motivation, but it's not likely Haley will break out the team's first vertical passing assault of the season. He'd also have to worry about what his new boss, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, would feel about that.
Perhaps, though, he just won't have Ben Roethlisberger take a knee if the Steelers are closing the game out inside the Chiefs' territory.

Let's see, Haley got the Chiefs into the playoffs by winning the AFC West in 2010 with 10-6 record.
The next year, dealing with early season-ending injuries to his starting QB Matt Cassel, his starting RB Jamaal Charles, his starting TE Tony Moeaki, his starting SS Eric Berry, etc., the team started out 5-8 and he was fired.
Now they have Cassel, Charles, Moeaki, and Berry all back, and Romeo Crennel has them at 1-7.
You think he might want to stick it in K.C. management's face a bit? This may be the game where the offense puts up 40+, even without the likes of Antonio Brown and Chris Rainey available.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Haley wants to put "50" on them. Don't kid yourself. This is personal for him no matter what PC things he says. It would be for anyone in his situation.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
