Are you really comparing the defense to the best offense in the NFL? I'd gladly give them a pass for Cincinnati if they'd been the best defense in the NFL all year.
All units were to blame for the Colts game. Mostly special teams. If Butker were available and Moore doesn't muff the punt, they win that game comfortably. Let's not forget, though, that despite all the bullshit that occurred, they still had a lead with a few minutes left. And what happened? The D allows one of the worst offenses in the league to drive the length of the field and score an easy TD.
We can't expect an offense to be perfect and drop 35 every week and never turn the ball over. The defense needs to be better, especially in the red zone.
