In Week 1 against the Texans, despite a strong offensive showing with over 300 total yards and four touchdowns, they narrowly missed out on victory, losing 29-27. Their defense managed to sack the opposing quarterback four times but couldn't prevent the Texans from edging them out.

Week 2 saw improvement on defense as they held the Packers to just 16 points at Lambeau Field but struggled offensively, managing only ten points themselves. This game highlighted areas for improvement if they aim to be competitive throughout the season.

The defense was particularly impressive, forcing two interceptions and maintaining pressure throughout the game which could be crucial in their upcoming fixture.

Looking Ahead: Colts vs Steelers The upcoming clash with Pittsburgh presents an opportunity for Indianapolis to build momentum. The key will be harnessing their defensive strengths demonstrated in previous weeks while finding consistency on offense. With players like Jonathan Taylor showing potential for explosive plays and Alec Pierce emerging as a deep threat receiver, there's optimism for an improved offensive output.
