Indianapolis ranks 30th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game as opponents are racking up an average of 296 yards per game through the air. Granted, both the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams have a Top 10 passing attack, but the 49ers, Browns and Titans all feature offenses that average less than 230 yards passing.
Why is the Colts’ defense allowing so many yards through the air? One of the key components to a good pass defense starts up front.
