Jord - I totally agree with your assessment of the Colt's defense. Four of their five opponents so far are in the bottom ten in yards gained per game this season. Three of their five opponents are in the bottom ten in red zone attempts. They are giving up a 70% (fourth worst in the league) touch down conversion rate to opponents in the red zone (and that is with three of their opponents being in the bottom ten in red zone conversion rate!) The Chargers will move the ball on them - they are in the top five in red zone attempts this season (tied with the Saints and Cowboys), and the Colts are unproven at stopping teams once they get there. Their passing defense has been solid thus far, but this is the best quarterback they are facing yet this season -Rivers QB rating is third best in the league at 110.6, and his 322 yards per game easily eclipse the next closest QB they have faced in Russell Wilson (199 yards/game, QB rating 91.2).
I think the Colts are in for a long day in San Diego.
Good luck!
