The Indianapolis Colts' defense has significantly improved after a rocky start, effectively limiting high-scoring teams like the Detroit Lions. Despite this, the Colts' offense has struggled, as highlighted by a recent 24-6 loss where they failed to capitalize on defensive efforts.

Running back Jonathan Taylor expressed frustration over the offense's inability to support the defense, which has been performing well under coordinator Gus Bradley. The Colts face a more favorable schedule ahead, but coach Shane Steichen acknowledges the urgent need to address offensive issues, particularly in the running game.
