Colts Offense:

The offense showed signs of its poor performance last week in the first quarter. But Gardner Minshew had one of his best games of the season, and he did it without his top receiver and top two receivers. Minshew completed 18 of his 28 attempts for 215 yards and three touchdowns. More importantly, the Colts' run game got going after a multi-week hiatus, and they did so without their top two receivers due to injuries.

Colts Defense:

The Colts defense only allowed seven offensive points to the Steelers in Week 15. They made a lousy offense look bad, and that is precisely what you like to see. After a rough week rushing the passer last week, they picked up four sacks on their way to a dominant win over the Steelers, improving to 8-6 on the year and giving them a really good shot at the postseason.
