2. Don’t let Derrick Henry beat you

A lot like last year when these two teams played in Week 17, running back Derrick Henry was on a tear coming into the game, but the Colts defense was able to hold him to just 93 yards on 16 carries. This time around has to be the same or better than last year.

In the last game between these two teams, Henry had 82 yards on 15 carries, with a long of 18. The Indianapolis defense did a good job of bottling Henry up.

Coming into this game though, Henry has had two strong performances on the ground, 188 and 159 in the last two games. If the Colts want to have success on defense, they must limit Henry as much as they can.
