Colts camp observations: Defense struggles with Lions' trickery, physical play

WESTFIELD -- The Colts defense has had its way with its own offense in training camp, being naturally a step ahead of a unit breaking in a new quarterback.

The joint practices with the Lions were not quite a walk in the park.

For a second straight day, the Lions tripped the Colts up with some misdirection. On Thursday, it meant Jared Goff running a fake jet sweep and uncorking a deep ball down the left sideline that got Nick Cross and E.J. Speed to bite and allowed third-string receiver Trinity Benson to run in for a touchdown.
