The Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for their Week 14 bye before facing the Denver Broncos, but linebacker E.J. Speed faces a $22,511 fine for a helmet strike that injured New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry. Despite no flag being thrown, the incident reflects poorly on Speed's judgment.
In the game, Speed recorded nine tackles and a pass defended, but the Colts' defense struggled, allowing 200 rushing yards to the Patriots. As the team aims for a playoff spot, the linebackers must improve their performance.
