During their Week 5 game against the Denver Broncos last Thursday, the Indianapolis Colts made several significant changes along the offensive line for the first time this season.
Rookie Bernhard Raimann made his first career start at left tackle while Braden Smith, who usually plays right tackle, slid over to right guard and Matt Pryor moved over to right tackle after playing the first four games on the left side.
Despite Indianapolis’ effort to shuffle their offensive line, pass protection remained a major issue against the Broncos’ pass rush as quarterback Matt Ryan was under duress most of the night and sacked a total of six times.
