Peyton Manning threw for 193 yards and the Colts racked up 38 points.
Any more questions about the Broncos’ run defense?
Now that we’re on the subject, yes, there are a lot more questions about the Broncos’ run defense. Four games into the season, it’s the issue that won’t go away. Until, or unless, the Broncos can make it go away.
It’s one thing for Joseph Addai to go for 136 yards against you. But when his backup, Kenton Keith, racks up 80 yards on 10 carries, you’ve got a problem.
Here’s how it works in the NFL: When you’ve got a problem, other teams keep exploiting it. So things aren’t going to change for the Broncos until they can find a way to stop the run.
Maybe they will. But at this point, with their average rushing yards allowed hovering near 180 a game, you’ve got to wonder if they can fix things this season.
Frankly, it already was ugly and got even uglier at Indy.
