Indianapolis Colts: ) The defense is superbly coached by Matt Eberflus, but the unit also has 2 big-time difference-makers in LB Darius Leonard and DT DeForest Buckner. Jonathan Taylor is a wrecking ball who is having a season for the ages, currently leading the league in rushing by a whopping 467 yards. Credit is due, of course, to the offensive line, which is a road-grading machine. Carson Wentz has looked both great and worrisome, but it's surely been more up than down ...... though now he needs to work his way back from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Colts team we've seen in December ...... with wins over the Patriots and Cardinals in the past 2 weeks ...... is Super Bowl-caliber. It's a complete squad, brilliantly led by head coach Frank Reich. And with the ability to control the game through Taylor and their stout defense, Indy can win on the road against strong teams. Just ask the Bills, who were blown off of their own field by the Colts last month.
