This was one that was supposed to be easy. Even though they were without two of their best players in T.Y. Hilton and Darius Leonard, this still should have been a relatively easy game against a bad Raiders team. It was not because of how bad the defense was.
The Colts defense is bad. Let’s just get that out of the way. They were gashed up the middle and on the outside on runs all game long. They let the Raiders jump out to a quick 14-0 lead in this game. There was no pressure on the quarterback, poor tackling, and bad coverage.
