The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the league’s biggest surprises this season, and most of the credit has naturally gone to the high-scoring offense. Head coach Shane Steichen, quarterback Daniel Jones, and running back Jonathan Taylor are all firing on all cylinders.
However, the Indianapolis defense has also played a big role in the team’s 4-1 start. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo’s unit has stepped up in key moments and made game-changing plays.
After Week 5, the Colts deserve praise for an extraordinary defensive performance against the Las Vegas Raiders. Indianapolis held Las Vegas to just six points — the Raiders’ lowest scoring total in 665 days.
