One positive story was the re-emergence of Bob Sanders for the Colts defense. He is flying around the football field, registering five total tackles, four solo, and forced one fumble. The Colts plan to use Sanders where he excels this season, back away from the line of scrimmage, in space, which means fans should will see more of his big hits like the one on Ryan Grant.
On the other hand, it appears that fans in Indianapolis will continue to be frustrated by officials ignoring blatant holds on pass rushers Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. There were at least three obvious holds on Freeney, two of which allowed Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to complete passes for first downs. If the league does not get this under control, the game will be hurt and the Colts defense will suffer.
