‘Perhaps the defense is cracking under the strain of having to carry this team and knowing they have very little margin for error. In addition to losing one on one battles, there were breakdowns in coverage and missed tackles. A defense that had 11 takeaways and 15 sacks in the last four games came up with a goose egg in both of those categories against Indianapolis, which snapped a four game losing streak. It marked the first time since Sean McDermott took over as head coach that his defense was shutout in sacks and takeaways in the same game.’
