As the saying goes in the NFL: "You're only as good as your last game." If that's the case for the Colts' DST then they're a tremendous option this week. Both the defense and special teams dominated against a rookie quarterback last week in the Panthers' Will Grier, and they face another this week in Gardner Minshew II, although the latter has much more playing experience this year.
The Jaguars have allowed at least one sack in all but one game this season, and they've had 13 games allowing multiple sacks, including each of their last 12 games. This is set up to be a strong performance by the Colts' defenders to close out the season. And who knows? Maybe reigning AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, Nyheim Hines, takes back another punt for a touchdown.
Week 11 statline: 308 yards allowed (279 passing and 29 rushing), 13 points allowed, 2 sacks, 1 takeaway, 1 two-point return
