Defensively, the Colts sacked Rams quarterback Marc Bulger three times and intercepted him twice, with rookie cornerback Jacob Lacey’s 35-yard interception return for a touchdown giving the Colts a 28-6 lead with one minute remaining in the third quarter.
The Colts’ defense has not allowed a touchdown since allowing two in the fourth quarter against Seattle. They have not allowed a touchdown in the first half – or one with less than an 18-point lead – since Week 2.
“I think we’re playing really well together,” Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, who had his team-leading seventh sack in the second quarter, told Colts Radio. “It’s like a functioning wave. We’re playing off each other. . . .
“It’s going to be tough, man. It’s going to be tough to beat us. We are the hunters. We go out and try to establish that from the first snap. There is no let off. We’ve been here before.”
3. RB Joseph Addai isn’t as explosive player RB Donald Brown, but it still seems as if he gets the yards that are there most plays. When Brown got his huge, 45-yard run early, there was a huge hole. That didn’t happen as often for Addai. This much is also true, though: Addai probably doesn’t get as many yards on the big one as Brown.
You could have driven a truck through that hole that Brown had. Good observation about the blocking.
