Colts DEF ranked #7 this week (1 Viewer)

I need some help on this ranking. I don't see how you can rank a def this high that is playing an offense that is hitting on all cylinders right now. I realize Gates, Mathews and a possibly Floyd may not play, but Vincent Jackson is due back, and Rivers has been on fire lately..they are the NFL's top-ranked unit offensively. In addition, the Chargers have scored at least 20 points on the Colts def in the last 4 meetings and the Colts are not a dominant def unit this year.

Just curious if anyone else scratched their head when they saw this ranking.

Colt defense is always dangerous in that building with those DEs no matter who they are playing.

Chargers have allowed the 4th most pts vs opposing defenses in my league

Perhaps they are a strong play. Just seems like a shootout to me and a single digit defensive score from either def.

Exactly. They may score a lot of points, but they also turn the ball over, give up a decent amount of sacks and their special teams unit is a joke if your league gives ST points for returns, blocks, etc.

But the Colts always have terrible return games.

chargers special teams unit is set to go down in history as by far the worst of all time.

I don't see it. Colts tough at home for sure. But they just can't pin their ears back and go after Rivers. Plenty of Tolbert to keep them busy, and I don't see the Colts getting way ahead. Chargers special teams is better. This has all the makings of a 35-31 shootout.

It depends on your scoring system. The Colts may give up a lot of yards but could scoop a couple of turnovers and might return one.

Colts scored 2 points vs Chargers. Come on FBGs.
