DUD: DT Denico Autry

The Colts haven’t been a terrible pass-rushing unit this season, but they haven’t been great either. Part of that is the lack of interior pressure generating from the three-technique. That falls on Autry, and it showed again on Sunday.

Autry was nearly nowhere to be found throughout the game. He had a tackle at the line of scrimmage, but most of his rushes were stifled before he could make a real impact on Jameis Winston. The tape will reveal his true performance but to the naked eye, he didn’t appear to have that impact.

Autry hasn’t looked like the Pro-Bowl caliber pass rusher the Colts got in 2018, and his inability to collapse the top of the pocket hurt the Colts on Sunday.
