NFL games are typically won and lost in the trenches, and while the success of the pass rush of the Seattle Seahawks will be key to victory in Indianapolis Sunday, expect the run defense to be even more crucial.
Last year, the Indianapolis Colts leaned on Jonathan Taylor to provide the offensive spark many times. While most of us will remember his 253-yard performance in Week 17, Taylor was a consistent force for Indianapolis throughout the year, rushing for 60 or more yards in 9 of fifteen appearances.
When Taylor broke the 60-yard threshold last year, the Colts were 8-2.
