On a night when the Indianapolis Colts’ offense couldn’t do anything right for nearly four quarters, the defense stepped up big-time and helped the team secure their second win of the season, defeating the Denver Broncos 12-9.
Here are my biggest takeaways from Indianapolis’ victory on Thursday Night Football.
DEFENSE COMES UP CLUTCH IN KEY MOMENTS
The offense couldn’t do anything. Quarterback Matt Ryan was constantly under duress all night long, as he was sacked six times and had two ugly interceptions. But the defense more than did its part for the Colts.
Indianapolis’ unit held the Broncos to just nine total points.
