Colts’ Matchups to Watch: Week 12 vs. Lions
E.J. Speed / Zaire Franklin vs. Jahmyr Gibbs / David Montgomery
Gibbs & Montgomery have combined for over 1.800 scrimmage yards and 19 overall touchdowns, spearheading the Lions’ offense. They are far and away the best running back duo in the NFL, and could be a real headache for a Colts’ run defense that has been up and down this year. Speed and Franklin are the Colts’ most important players when it comes to stopping opposing running games, and they will be put to the test against the best running game in the NFL. Colts need to keep on winning if they are to sneak into the playoffs, and to win, Gibbs and Montgomery cannot be allowed to run free.
