Colts took it on the chin

The bad: That would be the defense, especially on stopping the run and preventing third-down conversions. The Colts are No. 29 in both. The inability to make a stop in the closing seconds gave Scobee the opportunity to end it, which he did.Whenever the opposition pounds away with the running game — the Colts are allowing 5.0 yards per attempt — it limits possessions for the offense. In losses to Houston and Jacksonville, the defense was run over: 77 attempts, 431 yards, a 5.6 average.
