Pass rush needs more contributors

What Justin Houston has done this season is wonderful. He’s been the heart and soul of the Colts’ pass rush, but Indy needs more production from the players outside of the veteran.

While Jabaal Sheard is still consistent, the Colts haven’t gotten much from the rest of their pass-rushing group. That includes Al-Quadin Muhammad and rookie Ben Banogu—who had a sack in the game. It also includes the interior defenders in Denico Autry and Margus Hunt, both of which haven’t recorded a sack since Week 2.

The pass rush will always be prudent given the scheme the Colts run and while Houston has been a monster from the edge, they need to get more consistency.
