Defense made impact plays

The Colts defense had a day on Sunday. Not only were they strong in the red zone, they also made it a point to have some big impact plays. What we mean by that is taking advantage of turnovers and finishing pressure plays with sacks.

Cornerback Pierre Desir led the way with two interceptions and five passes defended, both of which were career-highs for the veteran. The Colts also racked up 5.0 sacks between Al-Quadin Muhammad (2.0), Justin Houston, Anthony Walker and Grover Stewart.

It was a strong day for the defensive unit, and they certainly made their money’s worth when it came to making impact plays.
