The things I would like to see in an analysis like this is comparing the run defense from before and then after DJ was hurt. It seems like the run defense has gotten worse since he went out.
The other is to throw out long runs that don't result in a first down. The article mentions Luck running for 60 yards but, iirc, most of those were scrambles on 3rd and long where he was still short of the 1st down, leading to a punt. It ends up affecting the field position but typically the defense is okay giving that up so it isn't really a good picture of the normal run defense.
