What happened: The Indianapolis Colts executed a red-zone stop against the Washington Commanders. The defensive front reached the quarterback to prevent a potential touchdown during the ongoing contest.

Why it matters: Early stops are critical for an Indianapolis unit attempting to rebound from a 1-5 start. The play limits the deficit to one possession and forces a Washington field-goal attempt.

By the numbers: The defense enters the week allowing 27.2 points per game this season.

What to watch: Indianapolis will look to answer with a scoring drive on the ensuing offensive possession.
