When you have a resume like this Colts defense currently has, it tells a lot about how good these guys really are. They have got Darius Leonard, who led the NFL in tackles as a rookie. They have a defense that shut out the Cowboys for the first time since 2003. And they have got a defense that has had 6 games where they did not give up more than 10 points.
If the Colts had received more national attention throughout this season, they would have been getting praised in all phases of the game, especially defense.
