Say this much for the Indianapolis Colts and their fickle relationship with their failing defensive line: It wasn't working, so they blew it up.
It wasn't good enough, not even close, not after 45-7 in the rain in Foxborough, not after they allowed 657 rushing yards — a number owner Jim Irsay knows cold — in their last three meetings against you-know-who, not after Jonas Gray and LeGarrette Blount turned them into tackling dummies each and every time they lined up against the New England Patriots.
