In spite of the atrocious performance from the offensive line, Matt Ryan still managed to have a QB rating of 105.9 ...... that included 2 TD passes, 0 INT's, and a game-winning touchdown drive late in the 4th quarter.

If the Colts can get even a modest improvement on their offensive line (from awful to average), then Matt Ryan, Jonathan Taylor, and Michael Pittman Jr may very well be the super-dangerous trio that everybody expected them to be ...... and if we get back one of the best defensive players in all of football (Shaquille Leonard), the already solid defense may wind up being one of the 5 best of all 32 teams in the NFL.
That said, those are 2 huge "Ifs" ...... it's not necessarily so easy to upgrade an offensive line during the season, and it's quite possible that Shaquille Leonard may wind up missing half of the season.
