When Indianapolis does have the ball, they need to have their linebackers go after Manning, making him as uncomfortable in the pocket as possible. Most importantly they need to protect the ball as any turnovers in a game like this will be disastrous.
For Indianapolis, they need to be able to stop the run and create some third and long situations that forces Flacco to put the ball in the air. They ended the season ranked 24th in rushing yards allowed so they will have to do a much better job in this week’s game.
