The Bengals have a lot of talent on defense, but their linebackers are more adept against the run than the pass. The Colts tested this unit with their pair of talented tight ends and by releasing running backs out of the backfield.
Preston Brown gets the interception on this rep — Andrew Luck’s first throw of the year — but all three Bengals linebackers look good in this zone coverage.
Jordan Evans works out with the running back in the flat on the right side. Brown works underneath Colts tight end Jack Doyle’s route, putting him in position to pick the ball off after it is deflected.
