Part of the reason the Indianapolis Colts haven’t been in the Super Bowl picture for years is their defense has been toothless. Every time they run into good quarterbacks, it develops into a shootout. Andrew Luck can only do so much, brilliant as he is. Making it to a championship game requires good defense, and good defense requires a top pass rusher. Nick Bosa is the most physically gifted in this class with power, speed, quickness and length. He shows flashes of that ability to dominate and take over games. Something Indy hasn’t had since Dwight Freeney left.
