This Indianapolis Colts defense has been playing very well since Week 4. Anyone can argue they have been the reason the Colts have been able to stay in a lot of these close games.

Last week wasn’t their best performance all season but their next opponent, the Tennessee Titans, don’t present the biggest challenge for the defense.

In Week 2, the Colts held the Titans to their lowest total yards of the season, 243. That total was also the lowest for the Indianapolis defense this year. The difference between Week 2 and now, Tennessee has a new quarterback in Ryan Tannehill.

Let’s take a look at three keys for this Colts defense against the new-look Titans offense:

1. Be opportunistic 

A hallmark of the Colts defense has been their ability to force turnovers, a lot like the Titans defense. This week, the opposing QB they’re facing is susceptible to having turnovers.

In the five starts Tannehill has made since becoming the starter at QB for the Titans, he has had four interceptions, and five fumbles lost. Tannehill is prone to turning the ball over, and when he does on Sunday, the Colts must pounce on the opportunity to help out the offense create short drives.
