A week ago, the Colts made mistakes in every phase of the game to drop an early AFC South match-up on the road to the Jacksonville Jaguars. This week, the team desperately needed to defend their home field to get in the win column and not fall into an early two-game hole.
Of course, there were some challenges coming into this game that put this in doubt.
On offense, Marlon Mack suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last week, which thrust rookie running back Jonathan Taylor into a starting role today.
