I think Baltimore’s defense isn’t actually very good.
• That Colts defense is substantially better than I thought they’d be. Seattle scored two late garbage-time touchdowns in their loss at Indy, but the Colts D is still giving up just 15.5 points per game during the team’s 4-0 start.
Robert Mathis never gets the pub that fellow defensive end Dwight Freeney generates, but Mathis had a monster game against Seattle, with three sacks and two forced fumbles.
With apologies to Baltimore, San Diego and the upstart Jets, it looks like the battle for AFC supremacy is again going to be our backdrop when the Colts and Patriots square off for their annual showdown in Week 10.
