TMQ likes the Colts’ goal line stand.
Sweet Play of the Week: All eyes are on Peyton Manning, but the mostly “who-dat?” Indianapolis defense continues to perform well. On the snap before Baltimore missed a field goal that would have given the Ravens a third-quarter lead, Indianapolis stopped a third-and-1 rush for a loss — undrafted free agent signee Daniel Muir made the tackle. Baltimore reached first-and-goal on the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, and Indianapolis stuffed three consecutive rushes before the Nevermores settled for a field goal — Muir had a tackle on that series, as did undrafted free agent signee Gray Brackett. (Undrafted free agent signee Melvin Bullitt made the tackle that stopped New England in the final minute last week.) On the day, Baltimore drives reached the Indianapolis 28, 26, 20, 18, 14, 12 and 1, yet the Ravens never scored a touchdown — that’s sweet defense. The Colts have won their past four games by a combined 10 points — that’s also sweet defense.
