15. Indianapolis Colts

Fortunately, the Colts offense is capable of putting up a lot of points because coach Chuck Pagano’s defense has a lot of question marks. Top pass-rusher Robert Mathis is suspended to start the season. Longtime safety Antoine Bethea is now in San Fran, leaving some cat named Delano Howell to fill his shoes. The team brought in D’Qwell Jackson to help man the middle of the defense, but it looks like this unit will get exposed against better offenses.
